WORD 2day: Thursday, 27th week in Ordinary time
If I want it right now, it does not mean it is the right time. If I insist on having what I want, when I want it, where is the space for the Omniscient God, the God who has a plan for eternity. Within God's eternal plan everything will have its place. It is faith alone that can help us understand and accept that.
Our confusion regarding the thriving evil, our compassion for the suffering righteous, our helplessness before the conniving shrewdness, our anger before the insensitive power... all these should not frustrate us, if we take the God-perspective seriously. If only we can look at everything that is happening from God's perspectives we will be strengthened by that serenity that God alone can give.
This serenity is not inactivity or passivity or incapacity or giving up... it is a hopeful surrender to the Lord that truth and righteousness alone can triumph because God is in charge! Nothing can ultimately go wrong. For a while, some forces can be at play but the final victory belongs to the Lord. This is the hope of Resurrection and we are a Resurrection People!
