Interesting point raised during sermon today. God teaching about his providence. Nothing wrong with that topic I suppose. The passage of focus was exodus, when the Israelites were grumbling, and God provided all their way, while testing them, of course them failing. The specific example where God gave them bread in the morning, and instructed them not to keep any for the next day. Testing to see if they trust him to provide for them. The speaker highlighted the point that God was testing to see if they trust him with their future. He stopped there, but my mind kept going. Trusting God with our future. Not to store up VS to store up. In a society where we don't even have to be taught that we should save for rainy days. But I guess there is a fine line between storing for a rainy day and storing up for wealth right?
On a more secular topic. Went for a friends graduation the other day. Well actually just for the photo taking. Did you know you have to return the gown after you graduate!! After paying like tens of thousands of dollars, you have to sit through a torturous few hours for your few minutes of glory on stage, which involves shaking a hand, and receiving a piece of paper. After which you get a half hour to take pictures before you have to return the piece of cloth. You don't even get to wear the fancy hat! You pay another few tens of thousands of dollars for the hat. Talk about day light robbery.
