Scripture

Luke 21

37 Every day Jesus went to the Temple to teach, and each evening he returned to spend the night on the Mount of Olives. 38 The crowds gathered at the Temple early each morning to hear him.

Observation

The Bible says that Jesus did not have a home. It says that He had nowhere to lay his head. "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." Luke 9:58. Have you ever thought about that statement? Jesus Christ, the one that created this entire Universe came to this earth and did not even own His own home. His only possessions were the clothes that He had on each day. How would you have liked to have taught all day long and then go somewhere and sleep outside only to repeat the cycle again the next day? They didn’t carry with them each night their tents, their camp stoves, their army cots, or their sleeping bags. We don’t ever think about that do we?

When we complain about what we are missing in this life it must make Jesus chuckle and then when we continue to complain it must make Him a bit angry don’t you think. We are so blessed in this country.

Application

I thank the Lord for the roof over my head and I thank Him for every creature comfort that I get to enjoy.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, as we read the scriptures sometimes we fail to see the real picture. Thank you for coming to this earth and showing us how we should live. Help me not to complain today. I am so blessed. Thank you for providing me and my family with so much. I pray for our new president today and his family. Give him wisdom. Keep him from listening to ungodly counsel. Help him to make Godly decisions.
