No Provisions for the Journey

A 22-year-old deaf man from Indianapolis took an 11 mile trail down from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon midmorning one day this summer. He took no food or water. His idstrught family was enlisting the aid of any hikers going into the Canyon. A group of bikers passed him and he refused to take the water they offered him. I am not sure what became of him. I am hoping he made his way back up safely. Jesus sent out His disciples and told them not to overpack or trust in their own resources. He would provide for their needs. They needed to trust Him. He is the one who brought water from a rock and sent ravens to feed prophets. Don't wander. Don't drift. Jesus says "trust Me". A bold proclamation for prepared living and realistic hope. "We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard lest we drift away from it." (Heb. 2:1)
