| Isaiah 55: 1 - 3 | |
| 1 | "Ho, every one who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. |
| 2 | Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness. |
| 3 | Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. |
| Psalms 145: 8 - 9, 15 - 18 | |
| 8 | The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. |
| 9 | The LORD is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. |
| 15 | The eyes of all look to thee, and thou givest them their food in due season. |
| 16 | Thou openest thy hand, thou satisfiest the desire of every living thing. |
| 17 | The LORD is just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings. |
| 18 | The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. ROMANS 8: 35-38 |
What will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?
No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly
through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor present things, nor future things,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Matthew 14: 13 - 21
13Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.14As he went ashore he saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.15When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves."16Jesus said, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat."17They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and two fish."18And he said, "Bring them here to me."19Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass; and taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.20And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over.21And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
