Isaiah 38:1-6, 21-22. Matthew 12:1-8

Laws are necessary in human life and regulations in the ordering of society. So may order be maintained, the poor and needy be sustained and guidance given in worship, fellowship and common life together.

But priority should be given to basic human needs, especially for the poor and needy and all should be constructively involved in providing for the well-being of others. The mind committed to the will and loving purpose of the Father, the heart open to receive the love We would pour into it – such will orientate and empower in right action and unite with the Father through the Son in the grace and power of Our Holy Spirit.

It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom as you seek to share it with the one and many near and far.
