You Feed Them

December 29, 2018 jakin7

By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

But he answered, ” you give them something to eat.”

They said to him, “That would take eight months of a man’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”

“How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five-and two fish.”

Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

They all ate and were satisfied,
and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
Mark 6:35-44

Who among the gods

“Who among the gods is like you, O Lord?
Who is like you — majestic in holiness,
awesome in glory, working wonders?”
Exodus 15:11

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive
my thoughts from afar.  You discern my going out
and my lying down; you are familiar with all my
ways. Before a word is on my tongue you    page_final_rev_p2_05
know it completely, O  Lord…. Where can I go from your
Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if
I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I
settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your
right will hold me fast.  If I say, “Surely
the darkness will hide me and the light become
night around me,”  even the darkness will
not be dark to you; the night will shine like
the day, for darkness is as light to you.
Psalm 139: 1-4,7-12

Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and
forgives the transgression of the remnant of
his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.       Micah 7:18

We have heard how the Lord dried up the water      red-sea-parted
of the Red Sea for you when you came out of
Egypt, … for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below.
Joshua 2:10…11

…“O Lord, God of Israel, There is no God like
you in heaven above or on earth below—you who
keep your covenant of love with your servants
who continue wholeheartedly in your way.”
1 Kings: 8: 23

Who is like the Lord our God, the One who
sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to
look on the heavens and the earth?
Psalm 113:5-6

“To whom will you compare me or count me equal?
To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?

Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver   golden-idol-2-328x328
on the scales; they hire a goldsmith to make it into a
god, and they bow down and worship it.
They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set
it up in its place, and there it stands. From that spot
it cannot move. Though one cries out to it, it does
not answer; it cannot save him from his troubles.”
Isaiah 46:5-7

 

 

Before the mountains were born or you brought
forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to
everlasting you are God.
Psalm 90: 2

In contrast to ethical relativism, Christianity sets forth a system of absolute moral values and affirms that God has placed within the very structure of this universe certain moral principles that are fixed and immutable.”

–Martin Luther King, Jr.  (1929-1968)
