Daily Thoughts - Make God Known
"God said." Look at the gift of Baptism that God gives us. The joy of knowing you were made new again to begin again. Being saved is a life long journey, not a single event but without the gift of Baptism we are not within the family of God. Goodness rains in our hearts for God is good, it is He who assists us to navigate life through Baptism.
1219 The Church has seen in Noah's ark a prefiguring of salvation by Baptism, for by it "a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water":14
- The waters of the great flood
you made a sign of the waters of Baptism,
that make an end of sin and a new beginning of goodness.15
In todays readings, it is a reminder of history and how God saved the Israelites through the course of time. We can learn from listening to our past and watching as God helped us navigate troubled waters. It is the confidence in knowing that you were saved through your baptism. The gift is an ongoing relationship with the Creator of the universe and choosing to serve Him in all that you do. Child like faith helps us overcome our stoney hearts especially when it doesn't seem possible. The mark of Baptism never leaves us and that mark is Jesus, let Him be the navigator, it is a much better journey.
Dear Father, history teaches us valuable lessons especially when we sit and see You in action. Help us become more child like, trusting of all the goodness that is available to us through the grace of our baptism. Our heritage is written upon our hearts and it is willingness to listen to Your Divine guidance that brings about our salvation. You are all knowing, all powerful and all loving, may we serve You well. Love your son.

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