Thursday of the 12th week, Year C. Genesis 16, 1-12.16: Ps. 105; Mt.7:21-29

God's time is the best

In Chapter 15, God made a covenant with Abraham. As the promise delayed to be realized, he preferred to listen to his wife Saraì and decided to have a child with his his maidservant, Haggar. This often happens to all of us to lose patience and to seek quick and human solutions for our problems. Very often, such quick solutions have drastic end results. We are invited to learn to be patient with God, whose time is always the best. Let us build our lives on very solid foundations as advised by Jesus in today's gospel. The word of God is that solid foundation. When the time is right, the Lord will make it happen for you. Stop worrying! Have faith in God's promise. He can never fail.

Jesus, I trust in you
