"Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have lodging places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head. ~Matt 8:20"
I was busy admiring and taking a few pot-shots of this beautiful scene, when a verse came to my mind.."Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have lodging places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." Come to think of it, I've taken pains to travel to places to catch sunrises and sunsets, but this thought had never occurred to me before! Later, spent some time on this portion (Matt 8:19-22), and by His mercies I was able to see an aspect of discipleship; the aspect of counting the cost to be a disciple. The Lord's paradoxical answer had me stumped. Both the men seemed eager to follow the Lord, but the Lord apparently looked at their hearts. In the Jewish teacher, the Lord found a hasty heart that never counted the cost of following Him. But then what really is counting the cost..?? Somehow couldn't get the answer to this until a week later. The answer was in Numbers 33. The Lord was with the Israelites as long as they had the heart to move forward. But when they began to settle down, the Lord gives them a warning.. (Numbers 33:55-56).
