It's all good so far

“Let nothing disturb you, let nothing distress you, for after all fades away, only God is constant. Be patient and let God in your heart, He will sustain you.”

Another great hymn that started the podcast this morning, based on the Prayer of St Theresa.

I googles her. She believed that it all starts with prayer. That even in tomes of siritual drought, one must continue to pray. I was amazed at the amount written about her. There was even an order of Teresian Carmalite nuns.

The reading today was from Samuel. King David and his soldiers come to a house and the owner curses David and throws rocks at him. David refused to have his soldiers behead the man. His reasoning was perhaps the man had been following the will of God and it had led him to throw stones.

I am not sure that I can always look at a situation this way. Yes everyone is a Child of God, and God does move in mysterious ways.

Does God use every moment in my life as a teaching moment? Can I look for the message he is sending among the stones and curses I encounter?

At least I can try to be patient, to let him into my heart, to rejoice that when all fades away, that he will sustain me.
