Trust in God’s Provision
  • Genesis 46:1-7,28-30
  • Psalm 37:3-4,18-19,27-28,39-40
  • Matthew 10:16-23

Today’s readings speak about trusting God’s guidance in difficult circumstances, enduring trials, and remaining faithful amidst challenges. In the first reading we see Jacob facing uncertainty when God calls him to leave the promised land and go to Egypt, where his future is unknown. However, Jacob does not move until he seeks God’s direction. God reassures him that he will be with him. The Gospel reading delivers a profound message, preparing believers for the reality of following Jesus in a world that often resists the Gospel. We may face persecution, betrayal, and suffering but the Holy Spirit will guide us. Jesus calls us to live wisely and innocently, to be bold in bearing witness to the truth, and to trust in God’s provision even in the darkest moments. When we are called into unfamiliar or difficult situations, trusting God’s promises is the key. He will provide the strength, wisdom, and grace to persevere, even when times are tough.

PRAYER: Abba Father, may we trust in your faithfulness through the trials we face, knowing that you will take us through every hardship. Amen.
