• A Faithful Shepherd Is My Lord: 1. A faithful Shepherd is my Lord, Who doth great plenty me accord, Who leadeth me to pastures green, Gives me to drink from waters unseen. A faithful Shepherd is my Lord. 2. With loving hands He giveth His gentle Spirit calms my dread; With health my body he endows, With blessings all my labor crowns. A faithful Shepherd is my Lord. 3. On pathways narrow with Him I go; I shun not hardships, fear no foe. He is my Rod, He is my Staff, True joy affords, my soul doth laugh. A faithful Shepherd is my Lord. - Nageli-Stein

Have you come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son?” And he said to her, “Give me your son.” So he took him out of her arms and carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed. Then he cried out to the LORD and said, “O LORD my God, have You also brought tragedy on the widow with whom I lodge, by killing her son?” And he stretched himself out on the child three times, and cried out to the LORD and said, “O LORD my God, I pray, let this child’s soul come back to him.” Then the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he revived. And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives!” Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth.”

Come before Him singing for joy! / We are His people… Know that the Lord is God! He made us, we are His, His people the sheep of His flock. / We are His people… Go, now within His gates giving thanks, Enter His courts singing praise, give Him thanks and bless His name. / We are his people… Indeed, how good is the Lord, His mercy endures forever, For the Lord He is faithful from age to age! / We are his people…
• Matthew 6:31-34: “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

• Matthew 6:24-30: “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?”
