Mystery of the day: Glorious
"He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40: 28ff.)
When the Scripture says: "the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom..." (I Corinthians 1:25) We begin to think of the Omnisciece nature of God, which is one of His attributes.
That is to say, God is too deep rooted to be deciphered, He dwells in mystery. Any day we understand Him, as He really is; that same day He ceased to be God.
This therefore follows that, since we cannot understand Him in His mystery He remains "eternal."
This forms the background of our reflection on this day: Wednesday of the Second Week in Advent. As we continue to journey with Prophet Isaiah who in His utterance as God commanded Him saying:
"He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40: 28ff.)
This implies that, God is not tired of our situation or too busy to hearken to our plea. He is always there for us in and out of season. His love endures forever as the Psalmist in final song of sheer praise (cf. Psalm 150:1ff.)
In the light of this, When man thinks it is finished, God says "This is the beginning of the Divine manifestation." For God sees the end from the beginning. These words of His from the prophecy of Isaiah reassures us that amidst our limitations, He is always there to give us a leaning shoulder. comforting our distressed minds and healing our wounds.
Let us then walk without fear for He is our strength and light which dispels the darkness on our path.
Peace! Be with you
