The World - We were blessed with a wonderful morning

We were blessed with a wonderful morning on Wednesday, Thanksgiving Eve. Our devotion for our early morning men’s breakfast focused on the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34, where He commands all of us “do not worry about what you will eat or wear”. A difficult concept to consider when we first hear it and impossible to even consider without the help of the Holy Spirit. But included in His message are two other commands that are usually overlooked.

1) “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.”

2) “See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.”

We are most comfortable living as humans "doing" and not as humans "being". Those two simple commands of Jesus: "To look and to see" can only be done by the fruit of the Holy Spirit alive in us.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

To protect our children we teach them before they move:

STOP. LOOK. and LISTEN.
