Today's Word of God
Luke 11:29-32
As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign,but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom; and now something greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and now something greater than Jonah is here.
Today's Reflection
One of the realities in life is this: There will always be problems in life.
Of course, that should not surprise us at all.
But the question is, why will there always be problems?
And even if we solve one problem, then another problem will arise.
But if we were to take a moment and think about it, could it be that most, if not all our problems are of our own doing?
Because there are always signs of an impending problem, but somehow, we ignore or brush if off until the problem explodes.
As it is said, where there is smoke, there is a fire.
Just that we see or smell the smoke but we didn’t bother too much about it until we see the flames.
In the gospel, Jesus talked about signs, and He says that God has given His people the signs in Jonah, the queen of the South and the people of Nineveh.
Similarly, God gives us signs to guide us along the journey of life so that we can do His will.
And God also gives us signs to warn us of the dangers in our spiritual life.
Let us ask God to open our minds and hearts so that we not only avoid problems, but also to help others in their problems.
GOD BLESS YOU
Good morning. Have a nice day.
