Daily Thoughts - Into the deep
"he will say: "Here I am!" If you remove the yoke from among you, the accusing finger, and malicious speech; If you lavish your food on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; Then your light shall rise in the darkness, and your gloom shall become like midday; Then the Lord will guide you always and satisfy your thirst in parched places, will give strength to your bones And you shall be like a watered garden, like a flowing spring whose waters never fail. Your people shall rebuild the ancient ruins; the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; "Repairer of the breach," they shall call you, "Restorer of ruined dwellings."" Isaiah 58:9b-12
"The Lord says", God's voice in our lives, do you hear Him? It is God who gives us strength when we listen to Him. Within scripture He speaks, He tells of trials, tribulations and strife when we do not respond to God's voice. When we ignore His teachings and His strength we become overwhelmed by the world and that's when our troubles begin.
We have to ask for God in our lives. ""Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand." Matthew 7:24,26. Our strength comes from the Lord, He pours that into our hearts when we sit and listen to Him speak.
What happens when we listen and respond? "the foundations from ages past you shall raise up", it is you God works thru. We can not give what we do not have, we do not have because we do not ask. Ask and you shall receive. How do I know? God tells us so in His word, it is all written down for us to hear and do. Have a blessed day and don't fret the small stuff, it is all small stuff.
Dear Father, it is a glorious morning as You pour Your love into my heart and soul. I see You at work within friends and family, I see Your word taking root within souls that are listening. Thank You Father for the gift of this day, Your word will be revealed within the men of the Victoria Diocese as You speak thru Your faithful servants. Prayers for families this morning and for men to step up and be men of God. I ask this in the holy name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of Holy Family, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
