Daily Reflections November 17, 2023. Wis 13:1-9, Ps18; Luc 17:26-37. St. Elizabeth of Hungary, Religious

November 17, 2023 Emily Arthur

 It is foolishness to ignore God - Creator

Through the cosmological argument for the existence of God, that we can find in this excerpt of the Book of Wisdom, the book of Job, and the letter of St. Paul Apostle to the Romans 1:19-20, today’s readings invites us to conclude that just in looking at created things, we can already imagine the omnipotence, the omnipresence, the omniscience, the incomparable greatness, the uncreated wisdom, the magnificence, the excellence and perfection of the Creator. In each of the works we must see the Main Craftsman.

Only God creates from nothing. All sciences only exist and can invent from what already exists. It is absurd to look at the lights of the heavens, the surging power of the sea with respect while we do not bow at all towards the Creator of all these powers. All creation reveals the Creator and all pagans actually worship God in His creation without realizing it. No wonder to hear the Psalmist say that the heavens proclaim the glory of God and the firmament tells of the work of his hands (Ps 18). Let's stop our delusions of grandeur. Let us be wise like Noah and Lot. Let us open our hearts to the signs of God and his Word and we will be saved. Let us strive to be ready for the day of the Lord!
