The Word of God

 

Word of God, On 8th  August, 2024

All glory and praise to You, my Lord.

  All glory and praise to You, my Lord. My words are just human words and there is no divine meaning in that. So Lord, I trust in Your Word, which is Eternal. We should glorify God in everything in everything we do, as St Paul beautifully conclude: Eph. 3: 20-21 Glory be to him whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine; glory be to him from generation to generation in the Church and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen. God’s wisdom is immeasurable and we cannot reach her: Sir 24: 28-29 NJB The first man did not finish discovering about her, nor has the most recent tracked her down; for her thoughts are wider than the sea, and her designs more profound than the abyss. We can just praise Him from our heart and we should not be tired of praising Him. Whatever we are doing is just a drop of water in the ocean, but we should do it for the glory of God, as St Mother Therese said: ‘I am just a drop of the water in the ocean, but the ocean may be less without that drop of water.’In God's sight, whatever we accomplish, no matter how modest, is extremely valuable. If we do everything completely for the glory of God, we shall be blessed a hundredfold. However, do not wait or expect anything from the Lord; God has His own time for everything, and He will not reject us. We should accomplish nothing for our personal glory; only God should be honored. He looks inside our hearts, not at our own efforts or virtues. Rm 11: 33-36 How rich and deep are the wisdom and the knowledge of God! We cannot reach to the root of his decisions or his ways. Who has ever known the mind of the Lord? Who has ever been his adviser? Who has given anything to him, so that his presents come only as a debt returned? Everything there is comes from him and is caused by him and exists for him. To him be glory for ever! Amen.
