Matthew 14:13
One of the most amazing and oft-forgotten things about Jesus was his lack of love for publicity. We easily forget that Jesus did not seek out the limelight. He very carefully selected the times that he made himself public and caused others to take notice. On occasions such as the one we see in this verse, he actually seems to be moving away from the public eye, rather than towards it.

Scripture Memory: 1 John 3:12 “Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.“
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for Your many blessings. You give us family and friends. You give us church and school. You give us love and compassion. You give us life and health. You are so beneficent! How can we ever thank You for all of Your blessings? You are too wonderful to fully describe. You are so holy we cannot comprehend it entirely. And yet, You care for us. Thank You for Your Son that You sent to die for us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
