Our Daily Bread : 2 Points from God's Word Today

Friday 14th June 2024

 

First reading (1 Kings 19:9a.11-16). Elijah feels that he and many of the faithful servants of God have gone through thick and thin. Elijah was scared, depressed and wanted to die, but God didn’t let him. God knew what he needed at the moment. He needed a personal encounter with God. God came to him in a tiny whispering sound. You can also meet God in the quite whisper of a voice even in our brokenness. God does not give up on us easily as we give up on Him. God came to Elijah in the desert in the heart of his hopelessness. While Elijah may have had enough of God, God had not yet have enough of Elijah. God has not yet had enough of you. 

 

Gospel (Matthew 5:27-32). Everyone is called to be as Jesus was and is. He loved his own to the end. Learn to appreciate the goodness in others.
