The Gospel reading for today comes from Luke Chapter 10. Jesus sends out 72 people and part of what he says is (paraphrasing) whatever town welcomes you, cure the sick in it. He says it as if it is no big deal for the disciples to work these miracles.
This makes me think that I see God as too small in my life. But what should we really think? I’m not saying that we should think that God will work a miracle at the drop of a hat, but our view of God is simply too small.
God is our loving Father. We are all called to belong to His family and He longs for us to trust in His goodness and mercy with all of our heart.
To illustrate this point for today, I will share a simple yet mind blowing fact. I learned the other day that the earth is roughly 8,000 miles in diameter. Ok cool, that seems not too big. But I also learned that one of the biggest stars that astronomers have found so far, I can’t remember its name, is 30,000,000 miles in diameter!!! Seriously! Wouldn’t we all think that something that big would take up the entire sky? Yet, if we can even see it, it doesn’t look any bigger than any of the other stars.
So my challenge for today, to myself and to you, is to think about the greatness of God throughout the day and work on trusting in Him with your whole heart. See Him as your loving Father and ask Him for the grace to trust in Him.
Thank you loving Father for this day!
