Mystery of the day: Luminous
Theme: Hoping in God
"Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock." (Matthew 7:24-25)
The central theme for the first week of Advent centers on "hope". Hope beyond impossiblilties. Every now and then God invites us be hopeful amidst every challenge that may come our ways.
From today's Table of the Word, we are being instructed to put God's Words into action by building our trust solely in Him.
"Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock." (Matthew 7:24-25)
This agreeable expectation goes with obedience to the detect and ordinances of God. If we say we hope in Him, we must keep true to His Word, in thoughts, words and actions. We are not to be only the hearers but the doers too. That is why Christ said:
"Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;..."
(Matthew 7:24)
We are therefore invited into the wisdom of God, so that we may not miss the mark. Keeping in mind that, He who builds in God, builds for life. But he who put God off his building plan moves towards doom.
Finally, let our daily struggle be hopeful that we will get there since God is always faithful to His promises.
Peace! Be with you.
Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you.
Let us pray
Stir up your power, O Lord, and come to our help with mighty strength, that what our sins impede the grace of your mercy may hasten. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
