“First I should feed the children—my own family, the Jews.7:27 Greek Let the children eat first. It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.”28She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even the dogs under the table are allowed to eat the scraps from the children’s plates.”29“Good answer!” he said. “Now go home, for the demon has left your daughter.” 30And when she arrived home, she found her little girl lying quietly in bed, and the demon was gone.

Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to the disciples, who distributed the food to the crowd.

Testing him, they demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.

Then at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes so I can see your plan and follow it, Open my heart to understand what your saying to me, give me power over my desire to understand and allow your will to flow thru me without my interference. Help me to allow you to have your way with me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
