SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Matthew 15:32-39

More than Four Thousand Fed

 ³² Jesus called his followers to him and said, "I feel sorry for these people, because they have already been with me three days, and they have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry. They might faint while going home."

 ³³ His followers asked him, "How can we get enough bread to feed all these people? We are far away from any town."

 ³⁴ Jesus asked, "How many loaves of bread do you have?"

   They answered, "Seven, and a few small fish."

 ³⁵ Jesus told the people to sit on the ground.³⁶ He took the seven loaves of bread and the fish and gave thanks to God. Then he divided the food and gave it to his followers, and they gave it to the people.³⁷ All the people ate and were satisfied. Then his followers filled seven baskets with the leftover pieces of food.³⁸ There were about four thousand men there who ate, besides women and children.³⁹ After sending the people home, Jesus got into the boat and went to the area of Magadan.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we do not want to be overcome by evil but we want to overcome evil with good and the way that we can do this is to absorb, maintain, and uphold the Scriptural understanding of good and evil. We pray against authorities, personalities, and persuasive rhetoric that tempt us to compromise or water down the truths we learn from Scripture. The contrasts of light vs. Darkness, good vs. Evil, the spiritual nature vs. The sinful nature are abundant in Scripture. May the guiding light by which we live our lives in these evil days be the light of Your Holy Word. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
