"These were their thoughts, but they erred; for their wickedness blinded them, And they did not know the hidden counsels of God; neither did they count on a recompense for holiness nor discern the innocent souls' reward." Wisdom 2:21-22
Does God hold anything back from us? I think back and realize that I was blinded by my wickedness, God was not central to my actions, He was a passing thought. It wasn't until I placed myself away from the distractions did I begin to see and hear His counsel. I imagine you are receiving and seeing His hidden counsel. Today it is not hidden, I just have to sit still and prepare to receive it. The Bible is full of examples of people who were graced with God's counsel because they listened and placed God in the center. Look at Saint Joesph, thru the trials of life, he was filled with joy because God took the lead. Sit at the Masters feet and refresh your soul, all you have to do is be still and listen. Wow, there is no feeling like it. WOW!
Dear Lord God, I can't express in words what I am feeling. Peace, understanding, awe are just some of Your gifts. I thank You for Your leadership. I ask for the grace to be able to receive more and give more but am satisfied with a little or a lot. Bless our morning prayer group, grow it's numbers and bring peace to those who come. Bless this day Lord and the work of our hands and minds. Help us remove ourselves from the situations and be in Your presence so we can respond and not be blind. I ask this through Your Son, Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Queen of the Innocence, pray for us.
St. Joseph, Pillar of Families, Pray for us!
