Reflections Along the Jesus Way
November 21, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“Excess does not guarantee happiness – on the other hand, many examples of excess we see in our Western world lead us to conclude that having ‘too much’ may lead to misery and unhappiness.
Two things I ask of you, LORD, do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me my own daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God – Proverbs 30:7-9
Let us give thanks that most of us have neither poverty nor riches. We have ‘enough,’ and while we cannot solve all the desperate poverty and disease in our world, we are thankful that there is no spiritual gap between the rich and the poor in the kingdom of heaven. God does not show favoritism (Romans 2:11). All are invited and welcome at the table of the Lord. We are assured that in some way, beyond our ability to assess, count or compute his generosity, our loving heavenly Father has/is/or will make himself known to all, regardless of their circumstances.”
