Thank YOU….

 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,

whose hope is in the Lord his God, 

who made heaven and earth,the sea, and all that is in them,who keeps faith forever;     

who executes justice for the oppressed,

who gives food to the hungry.

( They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.” Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Matt.14.17-21)

The Lord sets the prisoners free;  

the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.

( “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness;I will take you by the hand and keep you;

I will give you as a covenant for the people,a light for the nations, to open the eyes that are blind,to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,from the prison those who sit in darkness. 

I am the Lord; that is my name;my glory I give to no other,nor my praise to carved idols. 

Behold, the former things have come to pass,and new things I now declare;before they spring forthI tell you of them.” 

And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know,in paths that they have not knownI will guide them.

I will turn the darkness before them into light,the rough places into level ground.

These are the things I do,and I do not forsake them.

Isa.42.6-9,16)

( And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

Matt.21.14)

The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;

 (Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. 

In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 

The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 

Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” 

And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked….

John.5.2-9a)

the Lord loves the righteous. 

( For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,and his ears are open to their prayer……

1Pet.3.12a)

The Lord watches over the sojourners;he upholds the widow and the fatherless….

( “When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. 

It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 

When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over them again. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. 

When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not strip it afterward. 

It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.

Deut.24.1921)

( Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
