FRIDAY OF THE 28TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME OF THE YEAR (C)
Mystery of the day: Sorrowful
Table of the Word: Ephesians 1:11-14; Luke 12:1-7
"...you are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12:7)
Theme: Fear not, for He knows our trouble.
Dearest in the Lord, beautiful morning to you. Do you know your worth? How can you value your worth?
Indeed, it will surprise you to know that you worth more than your imagination. Most often, we based our net-worth only on what human eyes can see such as: flips of cars, buildings, how greenish our account is, the number of asset et certera.
Obviously, our net-worth is beyond our physical eyes. For if we are to be priced none of us would have been below billions dollar worth. Consider our security, air we breath, daily bread offered by God not that we have worked so hard for it, (even if we do) without God, our late to bed and early rising will certainly be in vain. Who among us can buy good health? And the list go on and on.
In consideration of this undoubtful facts that our Lord Jesus whispers through Evangelist Luke saying:
"...you are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12:7).
This is enshrined in the unfathomable love and mercy of God upon us through His only begotten who came to redeem us. He knows it all, to the extent that even the hairs of our head are all numbered. What then are we afraid of?
Is it because the trouble of this life has hit us hard? Does it mean that the challenges of life has pressed us so much that we suddenly forget the tender mercy of God?
Absolutely, it should not be so, for St. Paul in addressing the Church in Rome pointed out that, what we are going through now cannot be compared to the future glory awaiting us. (cf. Romans 8:18).
Therefore, beloved in Cbrist gird your loin, look beyond where we are to a home where sickness, envy, trouble, fear etc. will not be found. Trust in Him and only in Him for He knows our trouble. And finally He solemnly whispers "Be still and know that I am God."
Peace! Be with you.
Let us pray
Eternal Word, receive we pray the homage of our lips at this morning offering. Bless our day and ignite in us the consciousness of who we are without you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
