The
overriding theme in my reflection on Scriptures today seems to be, our belief
and trust in God. A reading from Acts [Acts
13:26-33] made me stop and consider, “When in my life have I failed to
recognize God or failed to see that an event was a blessing from God.” It also
reminded me of my need to truly find God in all things and to stay prayerful in
my journey, living life according to the example of Jesus and to follow God’s
hopes and desires for me.
“Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice
before him; with trembling rejoice.” When I read this line
in Psalms [Psalm 2:6-11] I got a feeling of overwhelming thankfulness for all
that God has blessed me with, including a rich relationship and belief in the
power of God. I’m thankful for my past
and current blessings and am thankful for blessings I know that I’ll receive in
the future.
I love the
stories about the relationship between Thomas and Jesus. Early in my life I remember thinking, ”I
wonder why Thomas had difficulty believing when he actually lived at the time
of Jesus.” For me, Thomas is that part
of me which questions, “Is this my will or is this God’s will”. “How do I know this is God’s will for me?” “Master,
we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” I have to remind myself about the power of
quiet prayer. I want to trust and go in
“a way” that, if it’s God’s will for me, life will unfold according to His
plan. “Do not let your hearts be troubled, you have faith in
God; have faith also in me.” [John 14:1-6]
