No Place To Lay His Head

One thing for certain, I dare say. . . .

Regardless of day to day, moment to moment details, one thing is consistently pre-eminent-- YOUR personal relationship with God. 

Details change, but really, life is same as it ever was. . . . Nothing new under the sun.  Whether you live in a slow time (lots of danger and potential opportunity for trouble there!) OR a speedy time (where chaos SEEMS to be taking center stage). . . . ACTUALLY, it really never changes.  The challenges are always the same.  DO YOU LOVE AND FEAR GOD ABOVE ALL!?

THAT . . . is all . . . and always . . . what matters.  That's it.  The rest is various nonsense and spiraling details--a kaleidoscope, an illusion.  Greed, envy, anger, resentment, lust, distraction, lethargy, indulgence, self-aggrandizement, seductions toward a million and one things BESIDES pure and straight-up love and fear and gratitude and honor of God....are the usual suspects of any day.......

It's always the same story.  Well, the COVER story changes constantly, like a river running by.  But at the center of it all, you KNOW what this is all about!  It's not about temporal security.  Who didn't have a place to lay His head?  You think YOU should?!

 "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." --Luke 9:58
