WORD 2day: Friday, 4th week in Easter time
May 16, 2025: Acts 13: 26-33; John 14: 1-6Troubled hearts and confused minds... these are not rare cases to find these days. The degree may vary but every person of our time seems to be troubled with something or the other.
The Lord would look direct into our eyes and ask us: why are your hearts troubled and why do you go confused? Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not let go of your trust in me, the Lord invites us today.
I remember once during our Theological studies, in our Scripture class, the professor said "the Word has the answer for everything". And a student retorted, "why then are there confusions and misunderstandings?" The Professor without any hesitation responded, "that's because we don't have the right questions!"
When things seem to be going wrong, when there are pressing issues that confuse, we need to ask the right questions! Who am I? What am I upto? Where is my ultimate destiny? What is the grand perspective within which my life is unfolding? There is answer to all these in the Word today: our Way! The Way is ready with an answer for everything in our life: let not our hearts be troubled.
It is not so easy to remain with hearts untroubled, the Word clarifies more, unless we have an ardent trust in the Lord. Trusting in the Lord would mean to keep walking. It is not just to stope everything and say, until I get an answer I shall not proceed... instead it is to hold on to the way and keep walking, walking along with the Way, and we shall see life unfold.
