I was struck in my devotions this morning by the Recabites. They're in the Bible, in Jeremiah 35. They're a people who follow a covenant that their ancestor Jehonadab made - so they don't drink wine, and they never build houses, sow seeds or plant vineyards; always living in tents. God compares them to the people of Judah, and commends the Recabites for being obedient and following, so He says that there will never fail to be one of their descendants to serve the Lord.
Hmmm... no wine, and not settling in one place or accumulating too much, but always being prepared to get up and move and just trust God in that. Sounds like my branch of the Church! Maybe if we stick true, there will never fail to be one of our descendants serving the Lord.
