The WORD today (See http://usccb.org/bible/readings/102714.cfm) reminds me that no one can stop God
In life, there are a lot of things that can happen. There are many surprises, so we really cannot be 100% sure of our plans. A lot can happen to stop or delay our plans, no matter how simple or huge they may be. However, this is not applicable for God.
In the gospel, we see Jesus healing a woman on a Sabbath. There are many things that could have stopped it – the law prohibiting healing or work to be done on a Sabbath, and the Pharisees disagreement with Jesus’ actions. However, these did not stop Jesus’ healing the woman. These did not delay God’s saving and healing plan for the woman.
Nothing can stop God’s plans for us.
No matter what other people say, no matter what the situation may be, they cannot stop God’s great plans for us. Even if people oppose us, even if people bring us down, even if situations challenge us, these cannot stop God’s great plans for us. God’s love and power are greater than these.
May we be assured that God is not limited by a perfect situation. He does not need a perfect environment for his plans to come to fruition.
Father God,
Thank you for today. Thank you for another day to live. Thank you for another chance to love and serve you. Thank you for another week to do my best for you. Lord, I am sorry for the times I am impatient and doubt your great plans for me. Help me have that great faith in you for I know that nothing and no one can stop your great plans for me. Amen.
Blessed day!
In Christ,
