A Sunday reflection on God as our generous provider

 

A Sunday reflection on God as our generous provider

In today’s Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 23: 1-3a, 3b-4,5,6) it is said: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul.”

In the Second Reading (Phil. 4: 12-14. 19-20), the apostle Paul said: “… In every circumstance and in all things, I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. I can do all things in him who strengthens me… My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father, glory forever and ever. Amen.”

Reflecting on these verses, amid all the difficulties and challenges that we face in life — including scarcity and poverty—may we be encouraged to carry on by keeping in mind that we have a BIG and GENEROUS God who is our GREAT PROVIDER. —SL

7 Ways to become fearless

1. If you have an urge to accomplish a goal, mentally plan out what it would take to accomplish that goal.
2. Have priorities planned out but learn to live in the moment.
3. Make a mental list of your 5 biggest fears. Work everyday on overcoming these fears; unless it's a venomous animal, let them one be.
4. Mentally change your anxious and fearful thoughts into exciting and happy thoughts.
5. Get to know yourself and the strengths you possess. Magnify those strengths.
6. Revel in your uniqueness. There may be close to 7 billion people on this planet, but in the whole universe there is only one you.
7. Take educated chances that interest you and do not fear the risks.
