"No Place for Your Head"

Scripture Reading:    

Luke 9:58 (HCSBO)  Jesus told him, "Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head."

 

Devotion & Meditation:

Many people secretly believe they can create the perfect situation for themselves and their families.  They are constantly hurried with the "fix-ups" that this requires them to perform-on machines or houses or even on the personalities in their families.  In effect, they are trying to make their life on earth perfect.  I am a practitioner of this art of life perfecting; but I have not been too successful.  And then I see Jesus living the wanderer's life.  He is moving from one town to another, preaching, teaching, healing, but always seeming to let others set His agenda.  He is following the flow of physical needs, burning questions and constant challenges.  And where does he stay?  Where does He actually live?  Mainly with friends.  And when His friends leave Him, He camps out.  So Jesus continues walking forward into his daily chaos of pressing needs and savoring each poignant moment.  As always, He comes through to me as a man of paradoxical complexity.  He constantly makes me realize that the opposite of a truth is not always an untruth.  Sometimes, it can be a deeper, profounder truth still.  Therefore, the one who had no place to lay His head could also make an astonishing promise to any who add Him to their lives.  Heaven... a permanent place!
