Who am I...
Wednesday. 15th week in Ordinary Time
Exo 3: 1-6,9-12; Mt 11: 25-26
What do people think of me? How do I come across to people? What kind of an image do I give of myself to others? Will this make or mar the opinion others have about me? ...these are some popular considerations we have before we decide to do something! At times this consideration of human respect keeps me back from being who I am! The Lord declares in various ways today that it does not matter so much who I am as to who is with me, who is for me!
Who I am that I should go to Pharaoh? - I will be with you, says the Lord! What makes the difference is that the Lord is with Moses. Who we are is important, but more important is who is with us! We may be merely children, but if God is with us, we can be worth all the wisest and powerful put together. Do not say you are merely a child, the Lord told Jeremiah. The Lord promises to be with us, what else do we need! If God is with us, what do we lack! If God is for us who can be against us!
