Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Each morning the sun rises and while we may have some idea or plan about the day we really don’t know exactly what the day will hold - what challenges, what joys. How will we exercise our faith this day? Today I will leave you with this encouraging quote from Thomas Parker from the Feasting on the Word Commentary Year B, Psalm 127 in Week of Proper Time 27.
“God is greater than whatever threatens me/us n particular situations. There will be resources and challenges we do not now see: trust God. There will be purposes served we can know only looking back: be open to learn. This faith is a courageous hope that does not have all the answers. They must learn as they walk into the unknown future. Divine providence is not magic; it does not rescue us from trouble without following the way of God through it. Faith becomes courage to endure what we must without losing heart, and thereby losing our souls.” Prayer Father, This day keep us faithful and true as we follow you through the challenges of our day and turn our faith into courage. Amen
