—Luke 19:41-44
by: Dorothy Noel.
In contrast to yesterday’s reading, Jesus said here that not recognizing God’s deliverance would bring destruction to the Jews and their homes. So often, our focus shifts to the safety of our homes and the comfort of our families. While those are admirable concerns, if they keep us from looking beyond our “city walls” to what God has asked of us or shown to us, then we become too reliant on our own strengths and take our focus off of the things of God. Relying on God’s sovereignty gives us freedom to look outside our cities, towards God’s call on our lives.
