THE WORD
“O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counsellor?" "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?" For from him and through him and to him are all things." (Romans 11:33-35)
INSPIRATION
It has been awhile, your one-stop daily spiritual diet Divine Whisper has not hit your screen; but you were all kept in prayers. Sincere apologies over that due to some contingencies. By the special grace of God we are back for good as we shall put in our best to bring to your doorsteps Words of hope and comfort by the power of the Holy Spirit.
On this day, Monday of the 31st Week in Ordinary Time of the year, the Church invites us to reflect on the Sufficiency of God which wisdom is the foundation. He remains all-in-all, no equal or marching.
In His essence, He shared with His only begotten Son -Jesus, that is why Evangelist John said: "The Most High, Eternal and Omnipotent God “became flesh and dwelt among us.” (John 1:14). The Infinite became small to embrace our weaknesses, while He was carried in the arms of Mary and Joseph.
In the light of this, St. Paul while addressing the Romans avers:
“O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counsellor?" "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?" For from him and through him and to him are all things." (Romans 11:33-35)
Here He eulogies the Divinity which is revealed in His Son our Lord and Redeemer. To us dear friends in Christ, what do we have to say about our God? What is our experience of Him who is our Saviour? As St. Paul described His Sufficiency which is independent of nothing as He is the Creator of all creatures in creation.
Finally, beloved in Christ Jesus, let us pray together that the Lord may enlighten the darkness of our hearts so that we may understand the richness of our God. It is in doing this that our inadequacies will be filled from His Sufficiency. Peace be with you!
PRAYER
O God, Almighty Creator of all, we acknowledge Your supremacy and dominion, grant we pray the grace to be united to You always even in pains and tribulations. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
+ May the Lord in His infinite mercy bless and keep us, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
