Living Light..

Matthew 10:9-10 “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts— no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep. As Jesus sent out the Apostles two by two, one of His instructions was to "travel light," to take along as little as possible. This, of course, was for at least two reasons: so what they had with them could not weigh them down and slow them down, and, so they would learn to depend upon God and His people to provide them what they needed. These are lessons few of us have learned well. We have too much stuff that "slows us down" in serving Him, and, we trust in ourselves (and maybe Uncle Sam) to provide, instead of God and His people. How much is too much? Wrong question. How little is enough? May we learn more today how to live light and follow Him.
