I can sense that all you ADD infected people came for squirrels and I plan to give 'em to ya, don't worry. Unfortunately, the atheists have already surfed to the next Facebook page sharing of the ridiculous "Do you guys know how to post videos on Facebook?" dude. They will surely miss out.
So I've got a fairly ridiculous premise working in my title, yeah? I know your thinker isn't always attuned to my inner monologue, so let me hit you with the verse.
Break it down, Matthew:
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? (Matthew 6:26 NIV)
What are you saying? Alfred Hitchcock's million minion march, err flight doesn't have to worry about feeding themselves tomorrow? Clearly that gave them time to conspire to make a spooky movie, but why so mad? If anyone should be mad, it should be the squirrels... keepers of many nuts in as many stockpiles as possible. Matthew breaks it down further:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19 NIV)
Though I enjoy the twistings of some when I bring up the "squirrel defense" when the "sparrow" card is played, I know that these verses talk about God's providence. In fact, these are some of my favorite verses even if you don't look at them in a biblical perspective:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21 NIV)
Material things can only go so far and can be taken away from you. The ending is the key, your heart follows your treasure, so be careful what you treasure.
What is it that you treasure?
