If we chase the wind, we just might catch it.

 

"And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you."    Luke 12:29-31 (ESV) “Our Lord here crushes a whole world of meaning into a single word, which, as we study it, resolves itself into a bright, impressive picture or parable.  The phrase really comes to this: 'Do not toss about in the windy offing, when you may ride safely in the sheltered haven.' And if we take it in connection with what goes before and what comes after, we find that the complete parable runs thus: 'Do not toss about on the wide dangerous sea of Care, on which so many make shipwreck, but rather take shelter in the safe and tranquil harbour of Trust in God.'"  (S. Cox, D. D.) What is that which we seek? What if we actually find it? Those who chase the wind might actually catch it, and then what will they have? The world’s pundits will wax eloquently with empty words that maximize the human experience and minimize our accountability to God. We remain safe and cared for if we choose to ignore the pundits and enjoy our Father. In doing so, we live life as it was intended. Life can be good.
