Cherish Your Manna 

Narrative Lectionary Series

Cherish Your Manna 

Based on Exodus 3:1-15 – God’s Name is Revealed

       Despite the people’s hardened hearts, God gave Manna when they were hungry. Our life is full of surprises and blessings from God.
When we begin to recognize and cherish the Manna in our lives, we become grateful people.
