Children's Bread and Confession of Faith

Children's Bread

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

Mark 7:27-28

The Bread of Promise from the Voice of the Faithful Witness

(Part 3)

The task before you is likened unto a mountain. Mountain climbing is strenuous but your weaknesses are consumed in me, for you are yoked to me. That which seems tough shall be made easy because of the yoke that you have taken upon you. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. Follow the spirit at all times and do not lean to your own understanding. Your footing shall be sure in the high places of the mountain. Your hands shall be sure in the cold times of climbing. Your vision shall be clear in the cloudy times of the journey. Your mind shall be stable when you look down to the rocks of uncertainty. Your faith shall not fail when you cannot see around the next ridge. Your strength may fail entirely but remember my strength shall always be enough. Your prayers shall be a pick in the side of the mountain. Your praises shall be a rope around my faithfulness. Your faith shall be vision and spiritual eyesight when you cannot see. Your belief in the gospel shall be your power when all hope seems gone. Look to the end of the journey and behold the mission completed. Behold the fulfillment of all your dreams and visions in the end. Behold the fulfillment of my word and the faithfulness of your God through every hard trial. You will become weary simply thinking about the journey. You will be weak in faith if you compare the mountain to your own ability. Lift your eyes to my faithfulness and remember the many things I conquered for you in the past. I am the same everyday. Do not be weary in well doing. You will reap. Simply do not faint. Shake yourself and rise to the occasion before you. You have the armor of God. Now walk and climb in faith. Remember at all times that you are not alone. Remember at all times that I am in you. Remember that I am in you, not somewhere watching you attempt the task.

Amos 3: 7 - 8

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

SCRIPTURAL VERIFICATION

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:8-10)

The task before me is likened unto a mountain. Mountain climbing is strenuous but my weaknesses are consumed in Christ, for I am yoked to him. That which seems tough shall be made easy because of the yoke that I have taken upon myself. God’s yoke is easy and his burden is light. I will follow the spirit at all times and I will not lean to my own understanding. My footing shall be sure in the high places of the mountain. My hands shall be sure in the cold times of climbing. My vision shall be clear in the cloudy times of the journey. My mind shall be stable when I look down to the rocks of uncertainty. My faith shall not fail when I cannot see around the next ridge. My strength may fail entirely but I remember God’s strength shall always be enough. My prayers shall be a pick in the side of the mountain. My praises shall be a rope around the Lord’s faithfulness. My faith shall be vision and spiritual eyesight when I cannot see. My belief in the gospel shall be my power when all hope seems gone. I look to the end of the journey and I behold the mission completed. I behold the fulfillment of all my dreams and visions in the end. I behold the fulfillment of God’s word and the faithfulness of my God through every hard trial. I will become weary simply thinking about the journey. I will be weak in faith if I compare the mountain to my own ability. I lift my eyes to the Lord’s faithfulness and I remember the many things he conquered for me in the past. He is the same everyday. I will not be weary in well doing, for I will reap. By grace, I simply will not faint. I shake myself and I rise to the occasion before me. I have the armor of God and I walk and climb in faith. I will remember at all times that I am not alone. I will remember at all times that Christ is in me. I will remember that he is in me not somewhere watching me attempt the task.

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
