Theme: HOW LONG, O LORD?
Dear friends in Christ, N'wokafu YESU KRISTO...
In today's first reading, we see God's response to the prophet's (Habakkuk) prayer of despair. From it we learn that God's promises are sure. They will come to pass but in His own good time. Though it might delay, it does not disappoint. it will definitely be fulfilled but only for those who wait patiently in faith.
For those who have faith, God is never late.
In the Gospel, Jesus made it clear to the disciples, and so to us, that though we are like unworthy servant who cannot hold God in debt, our faith in Him makes all the difference. With faith we can experience His miracles in the impossibilities of life.
Beloved in Christ, the mountain can move but with patience and faith. The question of faith therefore is not "how long, O Lord?" but "how patiently can I wait for the Lord?" Our God does not disappoint; those who are not discouraged in waiting will experience His faithfulness.
In a world where everything is put on a rush and express list, we need faith and patience to be able to wait on the Lord. Our God does not rush yet He is never late. He has His own appointed time. His appointed time, though might delay in the sight of men, is always the right time.
Let us ask God to increase our faith. With faith we can wait patiently on Him and no "mountain" of problem shall prevail.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, increase my faith. Amen.
May God bless you.
