What's in store doesn't matter... just Follow!

WORD 2day: Monday, First week in Ordinary time

January 10, 2022: 1 Samuel 1:1-8; Mark 1: 14-20

After a long while we are back to the Ordinary time and the very first message that the Word gives us, is so relevant. In our life's journey, that which can grant us an incredible serenity is the attitude of Following the Lord, without being worried too much about what is in store! 

We are still in the beginning of this year...or while thinking of projects that engage our days, it is normal that many things preoccupy our minds. Samuel's story that we begin to reflect on from today, affirms to us that God has a definitive plan for each of us; as the Lord would explain through Jeremiah in Jer 29:11: for I know the plans that I have for you; plans for your welfare not for ruin!

The secret lies in not permitting the grievances of our past to stunt our life and at the same time not permitting the anxieties of the future eat into our todays. Let us live our life, here and now, to the full, with total confidence that the Lord has a plan that will unfold in God's own time! 

All that we need to do is, what Jesus tells us today- FOLLOW ME! Let us just follow the Lord!
