Tuesday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time - Reflection

DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS


If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts. Ps 95:8


Exodus 2:1-15A, Psalm 69:3, 14, 30-31, 33-34,
Matthew 11:20-24


Exodus 2:1-15A

My Love, Beloved of my soul,

God chose Moses to be the one who would lead His people from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the promised land. God intervenes in the affairs of men in order to bring about His purposes and plans. He saved Moses, He ensured that he was found by Pharaoh's sister and that he received every advantage in the palace to prepare him for the mission that God would entrust to him. He was aware of who he was and was sensitive to the plight of his fellow Israelites. He thought he could help them by using violence but our ways are not God's ways. If we wait on the Lord He will unfold His plan for our lives. Moses' violent act resulted in him having to flee Egypt into the desert of Midian. It was here, in the desert that God would help him become the man that He desired in order to fulfill the destiny that God had for him.

So it is with us. You can draw good from all our trials and sufferings if we surrender our lives to You and You will help us become the people we were created us to be.
