NO
LIMIT TO THE BLESSINGS
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “There is no limit to the
blessings which God can send you - he will make sure you always have all you
need for yourselves.” (2 Cor. 9:6-11)
Reflection. Living in a country where
the economy is down – and still sinking, it is perhaps hard to believe that God
will provide “all that we need.”And yet this is not an isolated text. There are
many places in the scriptures where the message is repeated, “Do not worry! Do
not be afraid!” It is hard for us to grasp the attitude that Jesus invites us
to have: trust. How can one say to a
poor person struggling to survive, “Trust in God.” Yet, at its heart, that is the message of the gospel! A
disciple, a person trying to follow Jesus, is asked to trust. It is easy to say
this when I know here my next meal is coming from. But this does not take away
from the basic invitation to put our lives in God’s hands.
Prayer. Lord, you invite us to
trust in you in all things. Help our unbelief. Help us to trust. Amen.
