Amos: I'm worried about where my next meal will come from.
Con: That's silly. Your master will always feed you.
Con: Besides, Matthew 6:26 says, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
Amos: I didn't hear anything about Eukanuba in that verse.
If you pursue a relationship with God above all material things, he will take care of you just as he does the birds of the air. Read today’s passage and give thanks for all the things he’s blessed you with.

Abby: Tell me a Bible story, Nim.
Nim: Okay. A-hem!
Nim: Jesus told his apostles to go out and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. But Thomas raised his hand and asked, "What do WE get out of this?"
Nim: And Jesus said, "7 percent on a sliding scale."
Abby: (What the...?)
Nim: And that's what known as "The Great Commission."
Abby: It is not!
“He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” – Deuteronomy 8:3
Jesus feeding 5000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fish is the only miracle that appears in all 4 gospels: Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:31-44, Luke 9:10-17 and John 6:5-15.
Matthew 19:26 says With God, all things are possible. So Nim knows whatever challenge he must face, he can accomplish anything because God is with him.

Matthew 9:9-13 shows us that we should seek out those who need God the most. Abby misses an opportunity to tell a non-believer about the love of Christ.
9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
10 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners.
11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?”
12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.”
13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Abby: I went to a dinner party last week and was seated next to an athiest.
Jerry: How did that go?
Abby: We had nothing in common so we didn't say a word to each other.
Jerry: You should have used it as an opportunity to witness. Jesus ate with the tax collectors and sinners. Remember his words: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."
Abby: Oh, he wasn't sick. He was just an unbeliever.
Matthew 9:9-13 shows us that we should seek out those who need God the most.
