Second Samuel 8-9

Wherever David went, the Lord gave him success and victory.

David  showed kindness to Saul's family.

Meribbaal, son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul
was crippled in both feet.

David restored Saul's property to Meribbaal
and arranged for Meribbaal to eat at the royal table each day.

Lord, help us show kindness to people who treat us badly


Psalm 112

Happy are people who love and honor the Lord,
who take delight in his commands.
The children of such people will be blessed.

Such people are a light in the darkness for others.
Such people are generous, merciful and just.

They take pity and help those in need.
They conduct their affairs with  integrity.

Open-handed they give to the poor.
Their justice and goodness will never be forgotten.

Lord, please help me do more for the poor

Colossians 3

May the peace of Christ reign in your hearts.
Always be thankful

Let the message of Christ, in all its richness, find a home in you.
Help each other grow in wisdom

With gratitude in your hearts, sing songs to God

Jesus, live in my heart. Please live in my heart

Luke 9

Once after Jesus had been healing and teaching all afternoon,
his disciples said to him
"It's getting late and the people need to go and eat".

Jesus answered "They don't need to go. You feed them".
The disciples replied "We have only 5 loaves and 2 fish".

Jesus got the people to sit on the grass.
There were about 20,000 of them.
Then he blessed the loaves and fish.

He handed the loaves and fish to his disciples.
His disciples gave them to the crowd.

Everyone had plenty to eat.
They even had 12 baskets of leftovers.

Jesus, please make leaders do more to help the starving people of the world
