"Blessed are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience." (Luke 8:15)
The Word of God remains a light unto our paths. Through the Word we all acquired identity in God as sons and daughters. Therefore these Words must be kept at heart, else we miss the right path.
Today from the table of the Word, Evangelist Matthew in the gospel pericope brings to limelight our Lord's teaching on "listening to the Word." (cf. Matthew 13:18-23)
This teaching provokes some pertinent questions among us. What are those distractions that steal the Word of God from our hearts?
Is it troubles or difficulties in life? Searching for comfort zone? Friendship or companion? etc. With all these and many others we are exhorted to hold on to the Word of God as a treasure.
"Blessed are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience." (Luke 8:15)
Let our minds be free from all manner of distractions and let’s look beyond what we see at the present time. Let our lives also be molded after God's Word, in doing this we hope to find fulfilment in this life, and a sure hope of life beyond.
Peace be with you!
Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you.
Let us pray
Almighty and eternal God, we are grateful to You for Your faithfulness and love. Thank You for bringing us to the end of this week in joy. As we are looking ahead of next week sustain us in Your grace. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
