THE FAMILY OF GOD

We might have witnessed certain occasions wherein we have been confused, puzzled and even shocked of some people who got so carried away with their emotions and just acted in a way that they could not care less how they look in front of other people. This is usually the case with people who have totally surrendered themselves to someone or something that they are in love with that they have become enslaved by their feelings and just follow its dictates. It is just so overwhelming to see how it can compel people to do the strangest and unimaginable acts. Nowadays, we see people who abandon themselves to following such desires. It is just sad that there are times when we fall for the wrong desire that drives us to action. We sometimes end up regretting what we did after finding out that it is for the wrong conviction that we acted foolishly. It is good to imagine what David did in today’s 1st reading. It must have been quite a sight to see royalty, king and mighty warrior dancing without a care in the world. We all know that what he had done is all worth it because he danced before the Lord who is King of kings, Lord of lords and worthy of all our honor and praise. Amen. Hallelujah!

2 Samuel 6,12-15.17-19.

....Then David, girt with a linen apron, came dancing before the LORD with abandon, as he and all the Israelites were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouts of joy and to the sound of the horn.....

There is no limit to God’s endless power and grace. We ought to hold on to this truth every single moment of our lives. Amen. Hallelujah!

Psalms 24,7.8.9.10.
Who is this king of glory? The LORD, a mighty warrior, the LORD, mighty in battle.

God wills all to be saved. There is no doubt that the grace of God is enough and we are all called in every walk of life to respond freely to this. The choice is ours to make. We just have to remember always and never forget that God has already won over any pain, suffering and ultimately death. Absolutely nothing is too difficult for Him. All we have to do is lay claim every waking moment that we have already been purchased for a price and saved by the blood of Jesus on the cross. Let us not lose our salvation by turning our backs on the family where God wants us to belong. Nothing else in this world should give us joy and confidence other than the truth that we are part of the great family of God. Nothing compares to having the privilege to be called the child of God as His will becomes enthroned in our lives. Amen. Hallelujah!

Mark 3,31-35.

And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. (For) whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."
