WORD 2day: Friday, 24th week in Ordinary time
Many of us today have a hit and run policy with regard to sufferings and struggles, but wish to call ourselves strong, mature and rational. What do I mean my hit and run policy... trying to face the stuggles with a tendency to get out of it as early as possible, in some way or the other; not really analysing or working the best way out of it with utmost learning.
At the most, we agree that we are are rebellious, but we still fail to understand our weaknesses. We are prone to question God during our difficulties but do not stay on long enough to get the right answers. By the time some answers come, we are already off with other affairs in life, that we miss the real point that life communicates to us, in God's eternal will.
When some persons raise the questions such as "why this person?", "why now?", etc., they are already going away from God in rebellion! The Lord would simply ask: 'you raised a question, but why you do not wait for an answer at all?'
There is nothing wrong in raising questions to God, until we are truly ready to wait for the response. Wait long and wait hard - that is what we mean by a fight, a good fight of faith. There will be a response, an answer from the Lord - but I should be there to behold that response. Then I would be in a position to say: I have fought the good fight of faith!
Until then there is one thing we are called to do: to Follow the Lord wherever He leads.
