Week 11 - The Journey Day 4



Week 11 - The Journey Day 4 

"Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place."  ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:18‬

I hear Jesus make this statement then I wonder what is He saying?  I like everyone else that heard His comment don't understand.  Reading God's word can be perplexing at times, Jesus spoke in a way that makes you think.  Which requires us to use our God given talents.  

Jesus foretells of His death, here in the midst of us is God speaking and He is the one who will be put to death for a Divine purpose.  ""Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill."  ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:17‬.  He came to fulfill the Mosaic law and to enter in the new Heaven and new earth, the new covenant where He dies to pay reparations for our sins.  My sins that I have committed.  

Just like the disciples seating in front of Jesus, He is the message and we can miss that in our prayer time trying to overthink it.  When we sit and listen, hear the birds chirp, feel the warmth of the sun on our face, listen to a neighbor sling a hammer, we begin to see God at work.  Jesus has purpose in all that He speaks and is written down.  Do not miss Jesus directly in front of you, He is God.

What is God saying to me?  Listen, there is beauty in the silence, even though it isn't silent in the true sense of the word, it is within.  

Dear Father, You came to teach us and to sit with us, we can become so busy with what is said or being done that we completely miss what You are saying.  I thank You for just being, for being everywhere and allowing us to hear the Advocate teach what it is You are giving.  Thank You for the beauty of this day and the joy it brings when we sit and listen to You.  Thank You Father for the gift of life and the experience of You, it is in this relationship that we grow to know You better.  Prayers for friends that have Covid, heal their bodies and their minds.  I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.  

Mary, Blessed Mother, Pray for us. 

St Joesph, Hope of the Sick, Pray for us.
