—Luke 12:22-34
by: Steve Graffius.
We’ve been taught all of our lives to look out for number one. We’ve been trained to think, “We need to take care of ourselves, and I mean right now. After all, if we don’t, who will?” Our sinful nature is all too eager to repeat those words in our ear—and we fall for it.
In any given situation, we have essentially two options: we can either give it over to the Lord who has proven himself consistently (see Hebrews 11) or we can try to do it ourselves. The former is simple and has guaranteed results. The latter is stressful, difficult, and will inevitably fail—causing us to revert to the first option anyway. The choice is easy, right?
