Is it That Time of Year?

11/3/2020

​Here we are, back at the threshold of “that time of the year”.  If you think about it, the clarion-call of the world really begins the climb to its crescendo.  The world wants you - actually, it NEEDS you - to focus and worry about so much that is temporary and trivial.

There’s an impressive list of that stuff.  When should the Thanksgiving Decorations be put on display?  When should they be taken down in favor of Christmas decorations?  Which party (or parties) should I attend?  How big should the turkey be this year?  Have all the Christmas gifts been purchased, or at least listed?  This year we may have been spared some of the pressure surrounding the schedules for sporting events at several levels.  Perhaps we could think of that as a “mixed COVID blessing.”
All this stuff belongs to the misdirection the world offers to deceive us.  There’s an old saying; “worry is like paying interest on a house you don’t own.” Through Faith, we are given everything we need to ignore and reject the cacophony.

​From Luke, Chapter 12:
“Then Jesus said to His disciples: ‘Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.  Life is more than food and the body more than clothes.  Consider the ravens; they do not sow or reap.  They have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them.  And how much more valuable you are than birds!  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?  Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?’” ​
Luke 12:22-26 NIV

You did notice, I imagine, the statement “Then Jesus said to His disciples”.  Go ahead, have a look in a mirror, disciple.  His promise, His blessing, His never-wavering love IS FOR YOU.
