Daily Thoughts - Make God Known.
"and said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do them?" Mark 11:28
"He saved me from every evil and preserved me in time of trouble. For this reason I thank and praise him; I bless the name of the Lord. When I was young and innocent, I sought wisdom. She came to me in her beauty, and until the end I will cultivate her. As the blossoms yielded to ripening grapes, the heart's joy, My feet kept to the level path because from earliest youth I was familiar with her. In the short time I paid heed, I met with great instruction. Since in this way I have profited, I will give my Teacher grateful praise." Ben Sira 51:12-17
I sought the Lord. By whose authority do you operate within and give praise to? Let's face it, it isn't easy giving up our own authority to another. Jesus was faced with the same challenge as Son of Man. He being true God and true man, He could have done as he liked but he submitted himself to the authority His Father in Heaven placed him under. We as well face the same challenge and the right order of things is to follow His example.
Within scripture is the words of ever lasting life, it is the living word that will penetrate the soul and provide what the heart desires. For the heart becomes united to God just as Jesus is united with Mary and Joesph along with the disciples upon His earthly journey.
As you journey thru life, when we go to God with a contrite heart and ask in prayer, He will answer. But as in life one does not advance without being obedient to your current situation.
Dear Father, You have allowed an interesting week, filled with many things. I am thankful that You are there to listen and guide as well as correct my actions. May each of us recognize our position and like Your Son Jesus be obedient to Your will. Thankful for continued prayers being answered, thankful for a trusting heart and thankful for all the help that You provide. The answer is always there in front of us. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Light of Patriarchs, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
