“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD, “when I will send a famine on the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run back and forth, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it.”
Excerpt, First Reading, Friday 5th July 2024 – AMOS 8:4-6.9-12.
So, whatever we do with what we now deem as plethora is all left to us. Nevertheless, God has already said that, “My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.” – ISAIAH 55:11.
My dear friend, have we ever been inside the exam hall once and we forgot how to spell the word ‘the’. Yes, I mean this three letter word THE.
Very well then, today’s teaching is an example for those of us who have any doubts about what it says in plain language.
If we think we have heard too much already, then, we are challenged to allow that which has been preached to us to bear fruits.
It must not be lost on us what today’s Responsorial Psalm says, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. – PSALM 119:2.
So, whatever we make and do with all we read and hear now depend on us. This is because, as it is said in today’s teaching, the time is coming when we will need to spell the word THE and we would not know how to spell it and unfortunately, there will be none who will be available to help us again.
Dear friend, as the old saying goes, we must use our tongue to count our teeth.
Folks, have a fantastic day and a pleasant weekend.
