Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
Week 25 - The Journey Day 5
"Jesus answered and said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, a son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees his father doing; for what he does, his son will do also." John 5:19
Jesus identities Himself as the Messiah, He is doing the same work as His Father. At the sheep's gate, the water would get stirred up and those that entered would get healed. How many times had this man come to be healed in 38 years and others more interested in themselves passed him by. They couldn't pick him up on the sabbath as this was considered work.
The Father of truth speaks and the father of lies blinds. The man was healed just the same as those who enter the pool by God. The Jews could not see what Jesus had done, they just seen one more reason to kill Him. In what ways are we blind to the Truth? Would things be different if we slowed down and not let our emotions take charge and listen to God. The Jews allowed their emotions get the better of them and missed seeing God at work, missed seeing God in their midst. In our own days, God is there don't become blind to Him because of a situation. God comes to heal, the devil comes to lie, cheat and condemn.

What is God saying to me:
Dear Father, I have let my emotions get the better of me, allowing my words to hurt without slowing down to think before I speak. May You always be present in my actions and my words. Prayers for those in need of healing Father, May they recognize when You are speaking to them to rise and walk. Use me this day Lord, where You need me, may my words speak of You. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Prudent, Pray for us.
