15th Sunday in ordinary time, Year A
There's power in the word of God. The book of Psalms chapter 138:2 says you o Lord exalts your word more than your name. God says He exalts His word more than His name. If that is the case and the Scriptures say that at the name of Jesus every knee shall be bend and every tongue 😜 confess that Jesus is the Lord, can you imagine what will happen at the words of Jesus? His name will make every thing and person tremble, what about his word? What about the ipsissima verba. His very words.
That's why the first reading 📖 today says that just as the rain ☔ the snow ❄ fall on the earth and do not return without providing growth for the earth and bread 🍞 for the sower so the word that goes forth from my mouth 👄 does not return empty. His word must be accomplished. There's no two ways about it.
The word of God is sure , certain , eternal ,and immutable.
Yes the word of God for us is certain and sure. When God says Yes to your life nobody can say no if He says no to your problems who can say yes.
His word for us is found all over the Scriptures Matthew 28:20 I will be with you till the end 🔚 of time ⌚ . Nothing will ever harm you . Jeremiah 1:19 is it attack? they may attack you. Is it fight? They may fight against you for bearing my name and doing my will. But to overcome you? They will never overcome you for I am with you to rescue you and to save you. Claim these words for yourself .
Everytime you come for Mass and adoration or you are doing something good,God is speaking His words to you. But you have to try to provide the enabling heart to receive His word do not be the soil on the pathway. People are always passing on the soil like... These are people who think that hearing the word of God is a burden. They see it as a waste of time. These persons hear the word of God but it enters through one ear and goes out through the other.
Do not be like those with the rocky heart. Those who receive the word of God but lack the depth for its sustenance. They delight in hearing the word of God they even make promises to change their ways but after a very short while they are back to their old ways. They love to hear the word of God like Herod but their heart is not changed. Are you like that?...
Or you like the thorny heart. The Seeds that fell among thorns and were choked by the thorns. Are you one who receives the word of God but your heart is full Of riches, pleasures, and lusts. The things of this world take his time and attention away from the Word of God. And he ends up having no time ⌚ for it.
If you Are any of these there is still chance for you To change and be one of good heart. Where the seeds fell on good soil.
The word Of God Is Power and blessings and favour and strength. Power to liberate conquer and to remain strong in the Lord .Hebrews 4:12 the word Of God Is sharper than any double edged sword. It cuts destroys and put to flight all spiritual rubbish and it brings in all that is necessary to Make one bear good and wonderful fruits .
May our faith and our lives exemplify the good soil in today's Gospel through Christ our Lord.
