Thought for Tuesday August 2


I used Tuesday’s reading on Monday, so here are Monday’s readings.  I’ll get back on track Wednesday.

 

Lord, teach me your statutes.
Take not the word of truth from my mouth,
for in your ordinances is my hope.
Lord, teach me your statutes.

Matthew 14; 13 – 21  When Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns.

Doesn’t it sound like Jesus wanted to be alone?  Why didn’t he just tell these people to go away?

Action:  Make an effort to put up with people who need love even when you feel like you have nothing left to give.
