‘TAKE NOTHING FOR THE JOURNEY.’ (Mark 6:7-13)
How opposed to our way of thinking! We plan and try to think of everything we
will need. And, of course, we are right.
We have to. But Jesus is talking
about an attitude. Do we think we can do
everything if we can plan every detail? At the end of the day there is no guarantee.
A surgeon knows that. They can take
every precaution but ultimately it is not in their power. They cannot say for certainty. And so it is
for everything. There is that gap which we cannot predict. We call it trust. When I have done everything I can to make
sure something goes right at the end of the day I have to trust – not luck, not
fate – but an all-loving God.
