The needs of the people remain the same, but now the people are you and me. We still sin, and that sin causes so many challenges in our lives.

Sunshine and rain, food and harvests, family, friends, and health, love and joy. All these things and more he gives, not because of what you do or don’t do, but because he is generous and gracious.

Hidden beneath the sinner is a glorious saint. Jesus has declared it to be so in your baptism.
