Mystery of the day: Glorious
"Our life, like a bird, has escaped from the snare of the fowler. Indeed, the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 124:7-8)
Most often, I wonder how it would have been without God. When I look around, the beauty of creation, the stylistic dance steps of the tree branches, the sonorous whispering of insects, the ordered movement of the ants heading to their abode, the many traps we escaped, the success we have attained amidst all odds, etc.
Then I am promoted to ask: "Who is like God?" In fact, none is like Him. That is why the Psalmist from the Table of the Word today reechoed:
"Our life, like a bird, has escaped from the snare of the fowler. Indeed, the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 124:7-8)
A sure reminder, that our God has been, He is and will continue to see us through no matter the circumstance that may befall us.
While others may trust in their horses, riches and connections, we put our trust in God, for our help only comes from God who made Heaven and earth.
In the same line of thought, the Psalmist again brings before us the marvels the Lord worked for us irrespective of our frailty. That He offers us what we cannot on our own achieve or pay for. For He is always there to see us through now and always as he the Psalmist avers:
"Then would the waters have engulfed us, the torrent gone over us; over our heads would have swept the raging waters.' Blest be the LORD who did not give us a prey to their teeth!" (Psalm 124:4-6)
Therefore, let our hope be built upon Him, for outside Him there is no comfort.
Peace! Be with you.
Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you.
Let us pray
All powerful and eternal God, accept we pray Thee the homage of our lips as we raise up our hearts and minds to You. Grant us we pray the grace to be ever conscious of Your abounding grace and mercy. For all that we have, who we are and where we are remain the products of Your amazing grace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
