DIVINE WHISPER with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

MONDAY OF THE 16TH WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME YEAR (B)

Mystery of the day: Joyful

"The Lord will fight for you and you have to do is to keep still." (Exodus 14:14)

Beloved in Christ good morning and happy new week to you. We welcome ourselves to this beautiful week. It is indeed "God over everything ."

For our reflection today, we bear our minds to the wonders God did for His people Israelites, which even till this moment He is still working on our behalf.

The Book of Exodus 14:4ff. gives us an account of how the Israelites triumphantly left Egypt. 

In the same spirit, God is whispering to us at the beginning of this new week:

"I will fight your battle, be still." (cf. Exodus 14:14)

The similar promise He has already made through Prophet Isaiah: 

"I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground." (Isaiah 42:16).

Be still and know that He is God as the psalmist will tell us. There is absolutely nothing that God cannot do for us. Everything in existence is the product of our Omnipotent God. He is over all that we can feel, see and touch.

Our daily struggles is nothing but a push forward to our success. It is not to pull us down but to enable us to see the finger of God in every event.

He is ever present with us. Cheer up! It is well with us. 

Peace be with you! 

Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you. 

Let us pray 

Almighty and everlasting God, we are grateful to You for the wonders of our beings. For all that we are enjoying, the pains that come our way we thank You. As we journey along, sustain us in Your love and give us the grace to trust solely in You. Through Christ our Lord.  Amen
