God is In-charge
Wednesday, 15th week in Ordinary Time
Is 10: 5-7, 13-16; Mt 11: 25-27
Just yesterday we were having a chat on certain political developments in our part of the country. After a while of listing so many things evil and harmful, one among us exclaimed, "how can God ever allow this?"
Today reflecting on this account from Isaiah, we tend to think that the people then would have asked the same question: how can God permit this.
Jesus answers these questions with just one expression... God knows it all and God alone knows it all. We will understand things only when it is time for us to and when it is revealed to us. Until then we need to remain faith focused and hope filled, assuring ourselves and each other: God is in charge!
