Daily Thoughts - Speak Truth
"Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?" Looking around at them all, he then said to him, "Stretch out your hand." He did so and his hand was restored." Luke 6:9-10
Listen to Jesus, He speaks to the Pharisees. He sees their hearts and knows that they are filled with pride, envy and evil. Healing the man's hand was not His only goal, it was the souls of those sitting in authority. Saint Paul has the same conversation with the Corinthians, they had come to accept evil as good and good as evil. He pointed out the teachings of God and reminds them that it is the soul that we seek to save.
I can't help but sit and see a world reliving these painful lessons. Watching as prideful people thwart the teachings of God. The contrasts are apparent and each of us is giving free will to chose life or death.
Dear Father, we celebrate Labor day in honor of the achievements of this great country. Do we see the battle that is being played before our eyes, the choices we are given to accept the truth that God gives us or to go along to get along. Prayers for our nation being lead by a prideful people without God at the center. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
Saint Joesph, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
