Week 23 - The Journey Day 6
"But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you." Matthew 12:28
God at work. Jesus cures the demoniac from being mute and blind, those with eyes to see, know this is the Messiah, the Son of David. The Pharisees are blind to who is at work, their own desire for power and control has control of them. They are spiritually blind to the reality of God in their midst.
Can you see God at work? All around us God is transforming lives, drawing them closer to Him. The kingdom of God has come upon them. Jesus tries to reach the spiritually blind by giving them something to think about, free will belongs to each of us. "But seek first the kingdom [of God] and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides." Matthew 6:33. ""This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Mark 1:15
What is God saying to me? Now is the time, the blind will see, the arrogant will not.
Dear Father, it is a beautiful morning sitting at Your feet. Just like in the days of Jesus, some witnessed You at work and some were blind to Your reality. Give us something to think about that jars the gripe loose so we can become faithful followers of Your Son. Keep us safe this day, strengthen our resolve to serve You and remove the scales from our eyes so we see You at work in the simplest of ways. Prayers for a friend with Covid, heal their body from this attack, I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
