“This daily bread.”




H,
I take your earlier point. There is always this fear about what happens next. We have lived lives of such uncertainty that we are now a bit punch drunk from the “slings and arrows of fate”. And the material component of the machine, the nuts and bolts of making a life, add an extra dimension of paranoia and fear.

We can use these things as the great excuse for drowning in vice. Or.  We can remember the faith we profess and rest instead of worry. Rest does not mean inertia. Faith does not mean dreaming and sitting. Most of faith consist of walking or working toward an inexplicable conclusion. There is no charter or creed within following God that speaks for laziness or cowardice. It is usually the very opposite in play.

We are told to live in the day, for the day and on the daily bread provided. I cannot possibly speak for all the world, but you and I have found this to be enough. This is what we can testify to. This is how we must continue to live.
