In today’s scripture passage, Jesus is telling his disciples—telling us—that we do not have to rush to our destination. When we live confident and assured of God’s provision—that all we really need is the God who was revealed, lived, died, and was raised, in Jesus—then we will live in a way that is not focused on our own achievements, acquisitions, or assets—on “getting there”—but on being ready to see where God is working in every moment of our lives, so we can join in.
