God has blessed his people. He has called them to act in certain ways, to journey to certain places, and to do this trusting that what is needed will be provided. God pours out his blessing upon his people not because they stand deserving of it, but rather because it is what he has determined is right. Lectionary texts for today are Exodus 16.2-15; Psalm 105.1-6, 37-45; Philippians 1.21-30; Matthew 20.1-6.
