Today in kids’ church we did a hands on activity to learn about the parable of the weeds. We used chop sticks to get beads out of rice to see how hard it can be to differentiate good plants from weeds.

Psalm 66

[1] Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
[2] sing the glory of his name;
give to him glorious praise.
[3] Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you.
[4] All the earth worships you;
they sing praises to you,
sing praises to your name. Selah

[5] Come and see what God has done:
he is awesome in his deeds among mortals.
[6] He turned the sea into dry land;
they passed through the river on foot.
There we rejoiced in him,
[7] who rules by his might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations —
let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah

[8] Bless our God, O peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard,
[9] who has kept us among the living,
and has not let our feet slip.
[10] For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
[11] You brought us into the net;
you laid burdens on our backs;
[12] you let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.

[13] I will come into your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay you my vows,
[14] those that my lips uttered
and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
[15] I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatlings,
with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

[16] Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for me.
[17] I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue.
[18] If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
[19] But truly God has listened;
he has given heed to the words of my prayer.

[20] Blessed be God,
because he has not rejected my prayer
or removed his steadfast love from me.

Psalm 63

[1] O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
[2] So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
[3] Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
[4] So I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands and call on your name.

[5] My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
[6] when I think of you on my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
[7] for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
[8] My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.

[9] But those who seek to destroy my life
shall go down into the depths of the earth;
[10] they shall be given over to the power of the sword,
they shall be prey for jackals.
[11] But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by him shall exult,
for the mouths of liars will be stopped.

Psalm 54

[1] Save me, O God, by your name,
and vindicate me by your might.
[2] Hear my prayer, O God;
give ear to the words of my mouth.

[3] For the insolent have risen against me,
the ruthless seek my life;
they do not set God before them. Selah

[4] But surely, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life.
[5] He will repay my enemies for their evil.
In your faithfulness, put an end to them.

[6] With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O LORD, for it is good.
[7] For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
