Boundless Wisdom
To all perfection, I see a limit, but your commands are boundless.—Psalm 119:96 (NIV)
He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.”—Luke 9:3 (NIV)
Jesus told his disciples not to bring anything with them on the journey. To leave their belongings—all the outward trappings of life—and come with Him. Perhaps He wanted to show that He was a responsible provider and nothing was necessary and at the same time teach them that their faith journey would be easier without worldly possessions.
Lord, guide me to see how easy life can be when I let go of things that I don’t need. Help me to streamline my life.
To all perfection, I see a limit, but your commands are boundless.—Psalm 119:96 (NIV)
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!—Philippians 4:4 (NIV)
So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”—Zechariah 4:6 (NIV)
