GOD Is NEVER TOO GREAT FOR YOU
Mk. 1:29-39
The Lord came to the house of Simon Peter to rest. While He entered the house to rest, the very same people who were waiting for Him in the house had their own preoccupation.
Peter told the Lord that his mother-in-law had a fever and asked the Lord to do something about it.
It was probably too small to be presented to God, but because of the intimacy between Jesus and Peter, Peter did not hesitate to tell the Lord about even such a small matter.
Sometimes we think God is too great so we do not present our small matters to Him anymore. We pray to God to cure us of cancer but we don’t pray to God to cure our headaches. We ask God to cure us of leukemia but we do not ask Him to cure us of our cold. We ask the Lord to bless us when we go abroad but we hardly pray when we leave the house to go to work.
These all seem to be little things but the lesson of the Gospel is God is never too great for even our smallest concerns.
Men may be too small for great preoccupations, but God is never too great for our small ones. God has time. God has power.
God has concern even for the smallest matter.
Small problems that we are ashamed to confide to other people, we can bring up to God. God is never too great for those small matters. On the other hand, our problems can become so big that we cannot talk to anybody anymore. Let us not forget, God is not too great for our greatest problem.
God has time. God has love. God has concern for great and small matters. Men may be too small for our great problems, but God is never too great for our small ones.
Let us abandon ourselves to Him as Peter did. He was rewarded for such faith. May the same faith be ours.
GOD Is NEVER TOO GREAT FOR YOU
Mk. 1:29-39
Only Jesus, Always Jesus
