Integrity, Truth, Faith, Mercy, Love of the Lord — Psalm 26 #1

Psalm 26 NLT

A psalm of David.

¹Declare me innocent, O Lord,
    for I have acted with integrity;
    I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.
²Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me.
    Test my motives and my heart.
³For I am always aware of your unfailing love,
    and I have lived according to your truth.
⁴I do not spend time with liars
    or go along with hypocrites.
⁵I hate the gatherings of those who do evil,
    and I refuse to join in with the wicked.

⁶I wash my hands to declare my innocence.
    I come to your altar, O Lord,
⁷singing a song of thanksgiving
    and telling of all your wonders.
⁸I love your sanctuary, Lord,
    the place where your glorious presence dwells.
Psalm 26:6-8

⁹Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners.
    Don’t condemn me along with murderers.
¹⁰Their hands are dirty with evil schemes,
    and they constantly take bribes.
¹¹But I am not like that; I live with integrity.
    So redeem me and show me mercy.
¹²Now I stand on solid ground,
    and I will publicly praise the Lord.

Crumbs of Christ — Bread of Life #1

The Faith of the Canaanite Woman
(Mark 7:24-30)

Matthew 15:21-28

21Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”

23But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogsf eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28“O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Food Miracle #1 “Feeding of the 5,000” — Two Fish and Five Loaves

Feeding the Five Thousand

¹³Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

¹⁴When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick.

¹⁵When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”

¹⁶Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.”

¹⁷They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.”

¹⁸And he said, “Bring them here to me.”

¹⁹Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

²⁰And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

²¹And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Matthew 14:13-21

The Parables of the Mustard Seed

31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.

32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
Matthew 13:31
