Prove Your Faith With Trust And Nothing Will You Lack — “Look at the birds of the air,” says Jesus. What a splendid example for our faith to follow! If God’s providence bestows an unfailing supply of food on the birds of the air who neither sow nor reap, we ought to realize that the reason for people’s supply running short is human greed.
The fruits of the earth were given to feed all without distinction and nobody can claim any particular rights. Instead we have lost the sense of the communion of goods, rushing to turn these goods into private property.
The birds do not know famine because the do not claim anything specially for themselves and neither do they have any envy of others.
Consider the lilies of the field: Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. If God so clothes the grass which is alive today and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe one of you?
With the parable of flowers and grass the Lord urges us to hope that God will also be merciful to us. Nothing is more persuasive than a glance at unthinking creatures who have received such beautiful dress from Providence. Surely we should be all the more ready to believe that human beings, if they entrust themselves completely to God and free themselves of all their worries, will not lack anything.

Bill – What info do you have regarding the deployment of US military forces throughout CONUS in many of our major cities along with razor wire and tactical sound weapons amongst other things like, oh yeah, M1A1 Abrams tanks!
Kim Dotcom and Robert O’Neill — the SEAL who shot Bin Laden — Tweeted about it five hours ago.
Nothing specific or definitive and nothing trending.
Nobody seems to be taking it seriously.
Why take it seriously? Hell having troops deployed in cities is a totally normal everyday occurrence – – IN CHINA! Oh, by the way, the propagandists in the MSM are starting up an anti-China movement. CNBC is going to do a major expose on China’s corporate spying in the USA. It’s only been going on for the last 50 years, often with the wink and a nod of the government and the open participation of the corporations. So why is it now an issue? Probably for the same reason we’re sending Coast Guard cutters to the South China Sea… they’re trying to psych us into the coming war(s) and need us to be angry at the Chines and the Russians. Buckle up, the fun is only just beginning!
