Vanity of worldly wealth

As I was pondering how I never seemed to fit in this Scripture came to mind.
Matt. 8:20 “And Y’Shua said unto him, the foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has no where to lay His head.”Hmm, the Son of man did not seem to fit in either, always wondering from place to place with no place to call His own or lay His head. Wow, now that set me to chewing on it – are we not to be like Him? Do we not just apply that to the good stuff, nothing that includes any pain and suffering. If we were meant to stay in one spot to fellowship or minister than why did our Leader keep moving around and notice He was not fellowshipping with the upper crust, trying to rub shoulders with the ‘name droppers.’
There has to be more to this, so lets see what this verse is trying to show us-----.
There are many resolutions for religion, produced by some sudden pangs of conviction, and taken up without due consideration that proves fruitless, and come to nothing: soon ripe, soon rotten.
Y’Shua will have him (the person that wanted to follow Him) know what he is doing, not to make a rash decision and "count the cost." He will have him weigh well the real nature and the strength of his attachment, whether it is such as will abide in the day of trial.
The Son of man was Daniel's name for the Messiah (Dan. 7:10-13), it is the name by which the L-rd ordinarily designates Himself as the Messiah - the Son of G-d manifested in the flesh of Adam; the second Adam. The Son of man has to depend on the hospitality of others, and borrow the pillow whereon He lays His head. He chose not to be self-provision but need the rest of the body to bring forth their gifting.
If He would take our nature upon Him, one would think, He should have taken it in its best estate and circumstances: no, He takes it in its worst. We are to take His nature not the other way around, and His was humility.
How well provided for the inferior creatures are, G-d provides holes for them in which they are earthed: man endeavors to destroy them, but thus they are sheltered; their holes are their castles. The birds of the air, though they take no care for themselves, yet are taken care of, and have nests (Ps. 104:17); nests in the field; some of them nests in the house; in G-d' s courts, Ps. 84:3.
How poorly the Messiah Y’Shua was provided for. It may encourage us to trust G-d for necessaries, that the beasts and birds have such good provision; and may comfort us, if we want necessaries, that our Master did so before us. Note, our Messiah Y’Shua, when He was here in the world, submitted to the disgraces and distresses of extreme poverty; for our sakes He became poor, very poor. He had not a settlement, had not a place of repose, not a house of His own, to put His head in, not a pillow of His own, to lay His head on. He and His disciples lived upon the charity of well-disposed people that ministered to Him of their substance, Lk. 8:2. The Messiah submitted to this, not only that He might in all respects humble Himself, and fulfill the Scriptures, which spoke of Him as poor and needy, but that He might show us the vanity of worldly wealth, and teach us to look upon it with a holy contempt; that He might purchase better things for us, and so make us rich, 2 Cor. 8:9.
The Messiah saw his heart, and answered to the thoughts of that, and therein teaches us all how to come to the Father. At first, the scribe's resolve seems to have been sudden; and Y’Shua would have us, when we take upon us a profession of religion, to sit down and count the cost (Lk. 14:28), to do it intelligently, and with consideration, and choose the way of godliness, not because we know no other, but because we know no better. Let him that will follow the Messiah know the worst of it, and expect to lie hard, and fare hard. If he follows Him, he cannot expect to fare better than He fared.
An unwilling mind never wants an excuse. Many are hindered from and in the way of serious godliness, by an over-concern for their families and relations; these lawful things undo us all, and our duty to G-d is neglected, and postponed, under color of discharging our debts to the world; here therefore we have need to double our guard.
