NOT EVEN
Today's reading: Luke 9-10

"Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the coming of the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Don't even take a walking stick, he instructed them..." Luke 9:3 NLT

A walking stick?

Of all the things Jesus might have told them not to pack in their rucksacks, a walking stick?

But He knew them--and He knows us.

Too well.

He knows if there is something other than Him to lean on, we'll lean on it.

Sad, but true.
