Daily Thoughts 11-29-2017 Daniel 5:23

"you have rebelled against the Lord of heaven. You had the vessels of his temple brought before you, so that you and your nobles, your consorts and your concubines, might drink wine from them; and you praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, that neither see nor hear nor have intelligence. But the God in whose hand is your very breath and the whole course of your life, you did not glorify." Daniel‬ ‭5:23‬

Look at me, look at what I have done?  Isn't that what the king was saying when he praised his earthly gods.  Pride and arrogance are not of God.  As you travel about how many kings do you know that live in their own world and do not glorify God.  Each day we are given opportunities to give glory to God.  Do we stand up and honor God, who gives us life.  Our mother Mary recognized where her blessings come from and glorifies God.  "And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;" Luke‬ ‭1:46‬  Do you proclaim the greatness of God, she engaged Jesus to get started at the wedding feast of Cana, John 2:1-12, May you follow her lead.  

Dear Lord God, I love You.  You always know what to say and when.  You always know how to reach hearts that are stubborn and arrogant.  May I be a willing participant in Your salvation plan.  Thank You for each opportunity, may I not miss a one of them.  It is You that gives me life and it is You that I want to magnify.  May we each follow the example Your mother Mary gives us and may we follow her lead.  I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.  

Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us.

Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary.  Remind me to ask for Mary's powerful intercession my times of need.
