Greetings Dear Reader,
At the very core of our existence are very basic needs. They are needs created in us as a
species. If we have these basic needs
met we can subsist. The truth is that we
are not meant to merely subsist.
We can trace almost all of the ills in our culture to ways
in which needs are not met. We feel fear
that leads to doing things that we think will fulfill our needs. We adopt habits and strategies other than
faith and following Christ to get our needs met and then we are astounded when
they do not work. We still, over and over again think that we can depend on
experiences and things instead of God.
If I am to honestly become someone who depends on the Father
for daily provision, I should be able to write about it every day. There are moments where that provision is obvious. There are too many instances where I fail to
acknowledge that the Father has provided for me. Even more there are things are pursuing that
are false fulfillment of genuine needs.
They do not satisfy and they do not last.
The promise is that the Father has and will provide for
me. This does not mean that I will have
everything I want but, rather, that I will be cared for as a loving Father
cares for his child. As I said before
this is very difficult for me. I have
very little to go on in understanding what this looks like. The counsel I am getting, however, is to
allow the Father to show this to me. In
my writing I must move on to other matters but I must embrace the idea of
allowing the Father to give me my daily bread for life.
The entire creation is meant to be under the care of the
Father. Increasingly the culture is to
be independent and self-sufficient. We
are intended to be cared for like little children. We are also intended to have the love and loyalty
of little children. We are designed to
follow the example of our elder brother, Jesus.
I must make this attitude the core of my daily existence. I am unsure how to do that. I am concerned that when things are easier
that I will forget to see every day as one that I need to depend on the Father
for everything. Please, Dear Reader pray
that I never forget this lesson again; not for a single day.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
