My little addition to Our Daily Bread (12/3/11):
If that's how God clothes the grass, which is in the field today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will He do for you — you of little faith? Don't keep striving for what you should eat and what you should drink, and don't be anxious.
(Luke 12:28-29 HCSB)
I love what Joe Stowell wrote in today’s ODB about the temporary nature of all these “important” things over which we get so uptight. Just last night before coming to work I had a conversation with my wife how much I miss just getting to spend time with my family. With the time demands of the two jobs just trying to “make ends meet” and the little bit of time I am at home spent on the biological necessities of sleep, eating, and hygiene doesn’t leave much.
I can’t count how many times I’ve read these words of Christ (either in Luke’s account here or from Matthew’s chapter), but still the urgency of this world’s pressures get us “conformed to this age” (Romans 12:2) of just getting by. The words “you of little faith” at the end of verse twenty-eight hit hard. Do I live like I believe Christ meant what he said?
