Readings
First: Exodus 33:12-23 - Moses asks the Lord to show his ways. The Lord replies "... for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name. ... But ..you cannot see my face; for no one shall see me and live ...I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by...."OR Isaiah 45: 1-7- The Lord anoints Cyrus, who he has
called by name ... so that all may know from the rising of the sun to the
setting that apart from God there is nothing.
Psalm 95 - Give the Lord glory and power / O sing a new song to the Lord / The Lord is great and worthy of praise / Give the Lord you families of people / Worship the Lord in his temple.
Second: I Thessalonians 1:1-10- Paul greets the church, and says that they are constantly remembered in his prayers ... for their faith in action .. you have been chosen ... because the Good News came to you as power and the Holy Spirit.
