He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest wheat.
(Psalm 147:14)
Beloved! The Lord takes great delight in making peace within your borders and filling you with the finest wheat.
The Bible says, “He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest wheat” (Psalm 147:14).
The Bible says the Lord blessed the five loaves of bread and two fish and fed five thousand people. As He took the loaves of bread in His hands and gave thanks to God, it increased and He blessed them. Further, it says that they all ate and were filled” (Matthew 14:15-21).
When the blessings of the Lord make you go through this experience of increase, you will surely be filled in your lives. When the Lord blesses you, the anointing of the Lord will descend on you! Then, the river of divine peace will overflow in your life! Along with it, you will also have the experience of increase in your lives.
Jesus Christ was not complacent with the miracle of feeding the five thousand people but told His disciples to gather the fragments that remained. The disciples gathered twelve baskets full of fragments. In addition to the great miracle, each disciple got a basket full of fragments for himself!
Beloved! When you enable people to receive blessings of the Lord, He shall cause your basket to be full of blessings. Your basket shall overflow with blessings. Further, the Lord says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river…like a flowing stream” (Isaiah 66:12).
Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ will bless you abundantly and will fill you with peace. He will feed you with the finest wheat and every good thing. You will not lack any good thing but your basket shall overflow with the goodness of the Lord.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
I praise You that You are an awesome miracle worker. Lord, I thank and praise You for the promise that You would bless me with peace in my borders and that You would fill me with the finest wheat. Bless my life abundantly. Help me to enable people to taste of Your love and goodness. Bless their lives too with abundance of Your goodness. Let Your unfailing love and mercy follow me all the days of my life. I give You all glory, honour and praise.
Amen.

The Power of a Mother's Touch
The Power of a Mother's Touch
It really does make a difference
by Elisa Morgan, M.Div.
I was in line at the grocery checkout. A few feet in front of me, a mother guided her toddler ahead, anchored her baby on her hip and elbowed her checkbook open to pay the clerk. In what seemed one single gesture, she retrieved her toddler's hand from the candy rack, tore the check from her book and offered it to the clerk while placing a comforting smooch atop her baby's head. The baby drooled down the mother's shoulder, the toddler clamp-gripped his mom's leg and the other wrapped her arms about both while waiting for her payment to be processed.
A mother's touch … the difference a mom makes.
As I wheeled my cart to my car, I noticed another woman with her kindergarten-age son, rushing into the store I was exiting. Suddenly she stopped and glanced down at her child, reached in her pocket and brought out a wadded Kleenex. Moistening it with her tongue, she swabbed it about his dirty face. He resisted, but only briefly. Satisfied with her work and his appearance, she stuffed the tissue back in her pocket, took up his waiting hand again and marched into the store.
A mother's touch … the difference a mom makes.
As I approached my car, I noticed a woman and her teenage daughter chat animatedly. Hands flew—it wasn't an argument exactly, more a debate. The daughter, almost six inches taller than the mother, inclined her head downward. The mother rolled her eyes and patted her daughter's back. As they reached their car, the mother tossed the daughter the car keys and watched her daughter's face break into shock.
A mother's touch … the difference a mom makes.
Writing to the Thessalonians about his commitment to lead them with both lessons and life, Paul describes his posture as being "like a mother caring for her little children." In 1 Thessalonians 2:7, he gave his followers an example that wove words with love, truth with touch.
I thought of his words as I drove home and schlepped groceries from trunk to table and finally to cupboards and refrigerator. In the midst of my shelving, Eva and Ethan burst through the door from swim practice. With water circles about their necks from wet hair, they dumped their bags and rummaged through what was yet unpacked. "Yuk—I hate olives!" "Yes! Fruit roll-ups!" "Can we have this pasta tonight?"
I smiled, reached my hand out and wiped away a streamlet of pool water from Eva's face. I turned and flicked Ethan's hair from its stiff matted mess into some sense of order. I pictured the touch of the mothers I'd witnessed in my grocery-store journey, and I knew then that I feed my children with more than groceries. My touch, laced through the routines and crises, too, is what makes a difference today for tomorrow.
Yes, I tell them to offer kindness to those around them and to avoid drugs and premarital sex and violence. I teach biblical truths of forgiveness when they mess up and of truthfulness when they'd rather lie. I outline the basics of how to get along in life by managing an allowance, making their beds and getting their homework done before they relax.
But there is more to mothering and more to discipling than telling and teaching and outlining. There is touch.
The nurture of appropriate touch reaches out and over words and wraps a child in a comforter of conviction that he or she is valued—no matter what.
