Meeting the Lord passing by
Saturday, 12th week in Ordinary Time
Gen 18: 1-15; Mt 8: 5-17
Have you witnessed thick black clouds just pass by over your head without even a drizzle while you are dry, parching for want of water. That is exactly the experience when you let the Lord pass by without claiming for yourself all the blessing that the Lord has in store for you. You will surely not know, even if you knew you would hardly believe, the blessings the Lord has in store. Hence an attitude of openness and total surrender, ever connected to the Lord and perennially relying on the Lord's directions is a way of life that would take you to moments of thunderous grace!
It is a very special disposition to be able to meet the Lord passing by...if Abraham did not have it, he would have missed being the father of the Covenant; if the Centurion did not have it, he would have lost one of his treasured servant; if Zacchaeus did not have it he would have missed salvation entering his house; if the disciples to Emmaus did not have it they would have missed that life-changing encounter with the Risen Lord. A new month, and a new day, today, are you ready to behold it, without missing out on it?
