Lk 12:8-12
This parable on this day helps me to look deeper into my faith. I admit that I have my doubts about my faith. Yes, in my mind, I know that God loves me and He will never fail to take care of me. However, my insecurity tends to throw me into doubts from time to time. The parable emphasizes on the point of ‘Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night?’ Will I even seek Him when things do happen or insist on my own way or seek other ways from others which may not be God’s way? When I choose to seek God out of my own will, do I have doubts if God really hears me or answers my prayers? Do I worry that things will not go my way when God’s way is the best? When I seek Him, I should have the trust and faith that He will do what is the best for me even if it is not my way as I am His child. I realize that I may have the tendency to pray and still hang on to the issues that I have prayed for and refuse to surrender for God to take control instead. So, does that call ‘faith’ at all when I still want to take control of it? I must really learn to surrender to God and have the faith that He will take care of everything. This parable is God’s voice to me to have my faith in Him that He will take care of everything as long as I learn to let go and let God.
How about you? ‘But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?
With Love,
Elena
