    The Scriptures Today Invite Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts to the Lavish Love of Our God

    The Scriptures today invite us to open our minds and hearts to the lavish love of our God. When the Israelites asked for food in the desert, God gave them exactly what they needed. Their grumbling didn’t put him off; he fed them with manna and quail. God only asked them to trust in his loving care for them. When crowds of people gathered around Jesus, he not only fed them; he gave them more than they could eat. God’s only desire in both instances was to show his lavish love in such a way that it would move people to trust him with their lives. When the people asked Jesus what they were to do to accomplish the works of God, he gave them a simple answer: believe in the one sent by God – believe in me. Then Jesus identifies himself: I am the bread of life, come down from heaven to give life to the world. All who come to him will never hunger or thirst. All of us believe that Jesus is the bread of life for us. We desire to place our trust and confidence in God’s loving care for us. We have also found that there is a challenge involved in this trusting. The challenge comes in our willingness to embrace God as he is, and not as we might like him to be. Confidence in God’s loving Providence means accepting with our whole being that God will provide for us, but not always as we might want or expect. Hoarfrost on the ground in the early morning was not what the Israelites expected, but it was bread from heaven as God had promised.

With public funds starting to find their way into private business bank accounts and the reintroduction of mandated rent relief for eligible commercial tenants - for which we thank you - we now turn our attention to the reopening of these industries as safely, efficiently and quickly as possible. In this, we are seeking more clarity on what the roadmap to recovery looks like, as well as reopening principles and support specifically targeted at these highly-impacted industries, which have experienced extreme adverse economic and personal impacts due to the lockdown. It is our understanding that confidence is at an all-time low since the onset of COVID-19.

Picture: AAP EXCLUSIVE YONI BASHAN NSW POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT @yoni_bashan The NSW government has been engulfed in a bitter feud over $2bn in funding for Sydney-centric infrastructure projects, with Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s deputy threatening to go public with allegations of wasteful spending unless plans are scrapped and money diverted to the bush. In a sign of escalating tensions within the Coalition over competing city and rural priorities, Deputy Premier John Barilaro has begun vigorously campaigning for cabinet colleagues to drop their commitment to the $1.5bn relocation of the Powerhouse Museum from the inner city to western Parramatta, saying the funding needs to be reallocated to struggling regional communities. Last week, the Nationals leader took the extraordinary step of confiding in Opposition Leader Jodi McKay about his concerns, during a conversation in a Parliament House lift. That has angered colleagues and placed pressure on Ms Berejiklian to rein in the rogue behaviour. The Australian has established that Mr Barilaro told Ms McKay he wanted the museum’s relocation to be cancelled so the money could be diverted to more worthy projects in the regions. Several people were in the lift at the time. Mr Barilaro declined to answer questions about the matter on Tuesday. Ms McKay would not comment on the conversation. The leader of the NSW Nationals is renowned for his forthright opinions, both in public and private settings, although these opinions are not always consistent with each other.
