Greetings Dear Reader,
We live in a world where there are many in need. It is taxing on our spirit when our needs
exceed our ability to meet them. We all
see those in need if we only look up and observe.
In the next days we will begin to hear of efforts to feed
the poor and care for is want. In a
little over a month the Salvation Army kettles will appear and we will notice
them or we will not. Reminders of the
poor are now and will always be all around us.
I must not let a day pass that I do not express gratitude
for all that I have and be aware of those in need. All that I have is by God’s grace and
provision. It is given to me to care for
not to possess. It is not mine to own
but to care for and manage.
All that I truly possess is intangible. The Father’s love and grace gives me life and
feeds me. It provides for my needs. Everything I have to use or consume is
intended to help me see that love and grace.
It is also intended to help others see the provision of the Father in
our lives.
As I move on to other topics that are part of this journey,
I must do so with the understanding that the Father wants me to see the needs
of others and meet them where I can. He
desires for me to depend on him for my needs so that he can show his power and
love through provision. Jesus made it clear that whatever we do to those in need we do to him. What are we doing to Jesus today?
The other day someone asked me how I was doing
financially. My immediate response
without thinking was, “God provided for me for today.” Should
that not be how we always respond Dear Reader?
Is ii not our obligation to depend on our Father every day? As we move on to other thoughts and questions
more aligned with the seasons, can we agree to see those in need as we do and
promise each other that we will help where we can?
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
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.”
