The life of Moses demonstrates what is possible if we faithfully remain in God’s presence. This week, Ptr. Genesis Tan shows us how God’s presence gave Moses the confidence, comfort, and courage to defeat overwhelming odds and become one of the most storied real-life overcomers in the Bible.
Sa tuwing tayo ay nakararanas ng mga pagsubok sa buhay, minsan ang mas mainam na tanong ay hindi “Panginoon, bakit ganito ang nangyayari sa akin?” kundi “Panginoon, ano po ang nais mong ituro sa akin?” Sa mensaheng ito ni Ptr. Michael Cariño, matututunan natin mula sa buhay ni Moses na mananaig tayo sa mga hamon ng buhay kung magtitiwala tayo na ang ating nakalipas, layunin, landasin ay nasa kamay ng Panginoon na nagmamahal sa atin.
When we fail to revere and fear the Lord as our one and only God and King, we are like a vine that used to bear abundant fruit but has now been reduced to thorns and thistles. Let Israel’s experience in this passage from Hosea be a warning to us.
Let us not make the mistake of taking the Lord’s love for granted, lest disasters befall us when our Lord’s judgment comes.
