Obsessed with bread

Most of us spend most of our time thinking about resources. We devote the bulk of our time to work to earn money to buy food and shelter (among other things). We try to store up enough to take care of ourselves when we can no longer work. All of life is a race for resources. Most wars are fought over resources (oil, water, land etc.) or the system for distributing resources (communism, capitalism). Jesus makes the point, again and again, that resources are not an issue with God. After feeding 5000 with five loaves and 4000 with seven loaves he asked, “Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread?” (Mat 16:11) Oh to free ourselves from this obsession with bread!
