Divine Intervention

 

From Page 7 of The Cavalier Chronicle is the weekly homily which I will copy below and then comment on, and its title is, When The Lord Steps In.

 

Homily: “Everything changes when God gets involved.”

 

My response: This simple sentence seems loaded with wondrous implication. Everything changes anyway, all the time, but, when God or the good deities step in and get involved, things really changes and usually for the better in this world, and perhaps things do not get better right away, externally or materially, but, thing may improve over time, or in ways unexpected, and for the best, though we may not understand that at the time.

 

If nothing else, when God is involved, we have a perfect opportunity to improve ourselves and our attitude about how to face what comes.

 

Homily: “Losers become winners. The defeated become more than the conquerors. What’s not to celebrate? God’s intervention gives us reason for joy. Join the joyful this week in church. They shall obtain joy and gladness. Isaiah 35:1-10.”

 

My response: God’s intervening for us in this world is no guarantee or automatic promise from God that we will always prevail here, for our gain may be only in the next world, and, if we work towards that happy prospect then we are automatically winners and conquerors in this world and in the next, no matter what our social situation remains as.

 

God intervening in our lives is a source of joy, if we are welcoming of De’s presence, and if we are quick enough to take advantage to such blessed presence.
