Let Go and Let God...

The psalm in today’s readings is very inspiring, very beautiful shout to God

In God I trust; I shall not fear.

We see in the first reading how Saul was jealous of David and was thinking of killing him. Labo no, after David (by God’s guidance) saved them from Goliath and the Philistines, Saul became insecure and had all focus on himself – not on what God did to them through David. This led on him wanting to kill David. Well, of course, we see how God used Jonathan to protect David. We did not know if David prayed for protection or not. All we know is that he loved and trusted in God, kaya nga nya nilabanan si Goliath… And that was more than enough for God to continue to bless and protect him.

In the gospel, we see people, a lot of them, coming to Jesus to be healed. Yes, he cured many. He loved them all, kahit na yung mga pumupunta lang para magpagaling, kahit na yung hindi sumunod sa kanya as he preached to different towns. His love has no conditions. Hindi sya yung “Sige, I will heal you if you follow me…” and I think that’s more than enough reason for us to trust him, to not fear anything or anyone, knowing that this powerful God is on our side, and loves us so much.

What do you fear? What prevents you from giving your all, from going all out for God? What holds you back from letting go and letting God take control?

Is it your abilities? He used David, a young shepherd, to kill a big seasoned warrior in Goliath. David was not qualified, he just had the heart, and that’s all it took for God to use him.

Is it your schedule? God makes time. He moves previously set appointments so you could go and do stuff for him. He fixes your schedule so you will never be too busy to serve him. Believe me, this is true

Is it the fear of not reaching the set target? Is it not having enough money to cover the expenses or to generate some funds? God calms the sea, heals people, raises the dead. He created the world in 6 days and took time off to rest. You think anything’s impossible for him? Have faith as you do your best to serve and work for Him

May we continue to let go, and let God be God in our lives. Let us trust in God, that he will deliver us, that he never disappoints, that He loves us so much.

Have a blessed day!
