Today’s readings remind me that Christian life is not merely about knowing the truth, but about walking faithfully in it. The First Reading beautifully connects truth with love: to love God is to walk according to His commandments. Yet the Gospel gives us a serious warning. Jesus reminds us of the days of Noah and Lot, when people were absorbed in the ordinary affairs of life while remaining unprepared for God’s intervention. Their problem was not simply eating, drinking, buying or building, but becoming so occupied with worldly life that they forgot God. How easily I can fall into the same trap. I can become so busy pursuing my plans, possessions and ambitions that I forget that this life is temporary and that I am journeying towards eternity. Jesus’ words, “Remember Lot’s wife,” invite me not to look back but to move forward with complete trust in God. May I remain faithful to His truth, attentive to His presence, and ready to surrender everything when He calls me home.

PRAYER: Abba Father, may I be prepared to meet you. Amen.
