To be given more
3rd Thursday in Ordinary Time
2 Samuel 7:18-19,24-29; Mk 4: 21-25
David acknowledges the amount of good that the Lord has done on his behalf, the way the Lord raised him up from nowhere! He realises too that to be given so much means that much more is expected of him. Though he failed in some ways, his love and dedication to the Lord never ceased.
The Lord chose David to raise him up and David proved worthy of that choice inspite of his weaknesses: doesn't it look like the story of anyone among us- the Lord has chosen us and we need to live worthy of that choice inspite of our weaknesses and limitations.
The more we live humble and aware of the fact that we are chosen the more we would be blessed. The more we would be blessed the more we have to grow worthy of it. What a lovely way to sanctity!
