Week 11 - The Journey Day 2
"Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place." Luke 21:32
I am struck by God at His love for us, He does not do anything without first telling us what to expect. "in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near." Luke 21:31. When Moses was taking the Israelites to the promised land, God told Pharaoh thru Moses what was going to happen before it happened.
Jesus tells us what is coming, He foretells the future and it makes me wonder. Do we know the word of God to see the signs. Do the signs of our time get our attention to the point we are drawn closer to God and His love. Or like Pharaoh are we skeptical and ignore the word of God. Jesus doesn't make these comments to scare us but to prepare us for what is to come.
Within His mantle of protection all is well. Moses was surrounded by plagues and pestilence and was completely unharmed. Jesus's message is to see the signs because we are in covenant union with God. Daily prayer, sitting in silence and listening is the key. Moses didn't go it by himself, it was God that directed his path. Listen.
What is God saying to me? We are not there yet, we are in a stage of preparation. You are correct in knowing how much My people are loved and I do not want to harm them. It is in listening to My voice daily many times where true joy is found. These times are only the beginning.
Dear Father, there is such peace watching You in action thru Your word. Even in our trials we are being fortified for Your glory. Nothing will be undone by You that was
not meant to be undone. I sit and praise You this morning and know that all is well. Thankful that we have this time of peace, thankful for a day of truth in only how You can direct me. Many prayers this morning for others going thru life silently enduring their trials. Strengthen us Lord for Your glory. Prayers for friends traveling and being in Your mantle of protection. We are blessed Father by You and I am thankful for all of it. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Hope of the Sick, Pray for us.
