There are times when we fall into the trap of going through
our lives as if nothing makes sense and just go with the flow. This happens
when we pray less and become more familiar and adapted to the worldly set up we
have grown accustomed to. There is a need for us to make a conscious and
determined effort to live each day for God who is our Creator. Everything
around us and in our lives become significant and take on a different meaning
when we draw close to God. Amen. Hallelujah!
2 Kings 19:9b-11, 14-21, 31-35a, 36
...“O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned upon the cherubim! You
alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and
the earth. 16 Incline your ear, O LORD, and listen! Open your eyes, O LORD, and
see!...
We may all come to a point in our Christian walk of faith
when we are no longer sure if what we are doing is the right thing. It is so
hard at times when we are confronted with people and situations that are
difficult to handle. Some may look at what we are doing as being impractical
and inappropriate when we make decisions that are not conformed to the existing
and current standard of this world which is always after personal gain and
glory. No matter how confusing things may be let us continue to consult God with
regards to our plans and totally entrust everything to Him. After having said
and done what we are supposed to do then we ought to be always confident that
God can make things work for good and turn it into a blessing. For as long as
we stand by the principles and values of God then we can never be wrong. God
knows our every thought, motive and intention and if we act on it based on what
is just, true and peaceful then we will never be disturbed. Amen. Hallelujah!
Psalm 48:2-3ab, 3cd-4, 10-11
R: God upholds his city for ever.
Of justice your right hand is full.
As God wants us to be totally subdued to His will, He also
warns us to be careful in dealing with the people that we encounter. It is
inevitable that there are times when we really have to deal with them but this
should not discourage us for it is all part of truly becoming a disciple of
Jesus Christ. Amen. Hallelujah!
Matthew 7:6. 12-14
6 Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not give what is holy to
dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and
turn and tear you to pieces. 12 “Do to others whatever you would have them do
to you. This is the law and the prophets. 13 “Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those
who enter through it are many. 14 How narrow the gate and constricted the road
that leads to life. And those who find it are few.
