Reflection 29-

My dear brothers in Christ Jesus,

 Let us begin our meditation by thanking the Lord for the new day and peaceful night.

For our today’s meditation we have the passage from Psalm 46:10, “be still and know that I am God”. As we have decided to be priests and religious, it is definite that we will come across various kinds of tribulations and dilemmas based on personal, spiritual and academic aspects. As the result of all these problems, gradually we may lose our faith in God and depends on one’s own caliber and talents. At last, life become a great failure. Now in order to get rid of all these problems one may complain to God saying, why I have such a sorrowful life, why you’re punishing me with lot of troubles etc. But the ends of the day we fail to find out a solution from the Lord due to the lack of acknowledgement of God’s power.

 Primarily we must accept that God is powerful, He knows the minds of every one and he never rejects any. Therefore we have to acknowledge God’s power. Secondly, stop complains and demands from God. Beware that God is not a sales man who acts according  to your will, therefore submit to His holy will and say as Jesus said your will be done. Thirdly, limit your words in the book of Job Chapter 40:3-5 once Job stopped speaking then God began to speak for Job. So let us give an opportunity to God’s holy will on you and take into your mind Be still and know that I am God.
