EXODUS 3:1-14 GOD SENDS MOSES

1. Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2. The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. 3. So Moses said, ``I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up." 4. When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ``Moses, Moses!" And he said, ``Here I am." 5. Then He said, ``Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." 6. He said also, ``I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 7. The LORD said, ``I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings. 8. ``So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. 9. ``Now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10. ``Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt." 11. But Moses said to God, ``Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?" 12. And He said, ``Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain." 13. Then Moses said to God, ``Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, `What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" 14. God said to Moses, `` I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, ``Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.'"

LUKE 6:12-19 JESUS CHOOSES THE TWELVE

12. It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. 13. And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles: 14. Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew; 15. and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot; 16. Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. 17. Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, 18. who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. 19.

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and illness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’

PSALM 8:1-7 HOW MAJESTIC IS HIS NAME

1. O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! 2. From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease. 3. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; 4. What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? 5. Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! 6. You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7. All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, 8. The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. 9. O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

ACTS 14:8-20 THE TESTIMONY OF CREATION

8. At Lystra a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked. 9. This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well, 10. said with a loud voice, ``Stand upright on your feet." And he leaped up and began to walk. 11. When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language, ``The gods have become like men and have come down to us." 12. And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. 14. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out 15. and saying, ``Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM. 16. ``In the generations gone by He permitted all the nations to go their own ways; 17. and yet He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness." 18. Even saying these things, with difficulty they restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them. 19. But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. 20. But while the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

JOB 38:12-38 GOD SPEAKS OF CREATION

12. ``Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, And caused the dawn to know its place, 13. That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it? 14. ``It is changed like clay under the seal; And they stand forth like a garment. 15. ``From the wicked their light is withheld, And the uplifted arm is broken. 16. ``Have you entered into the springs of the sea Or walked in the recesses of the deep? 17. ``Have the gates of death been revealed to you, Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? 18. ``Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this. 19. ``Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place, 20. That you may take it to its territory And that you may discern the paths to its home? 21. ``You know, for you were born then, And the number of your days is great! 22. ``Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, 23. Which I have reserved for the time of distress, For the day of war and battle? 24. ``Where is the way that the light is divided, Or the east wind scattered on the earth? 25. ``Who has cleft a channel for the flood, Or a way for the thunderbolt, 26. To bring rain on a land without people, On a desert without a man in it, 27. To satisfy the waste and desolate land And to make the seeds of grass to sprout? 28. ``Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? 29. ``From whose womb has come the ice? And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth? 30. ``Water becomes hard like stone, And the surface of the deep is imprisoned. 31. ``Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, Or loose the cords of Orion? 32. ``Can you lead forth a constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her satellites? 33. ``Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, Or fix their rule over the earth? 34. ``Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, So that an abundance of water will cover you? 35. ``Can you send forth lightnings that they may go And say to you, `Here we are'? 36. ``Who has put wisdom in the innermost being Or given understanding to the mind? 37. ``Who can count the clouds by wisdom, Or tip the water jars of the heavens, 38. When the dust hardens into a mass And the clods stick together?
