Redaings 2Thessalonians 3: 7-13 Psalm 90: Matthew 24: 42-51
Psalm response; " Fill us with Your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy"
Paul encourges by the steadfast Faith of his Thessalonia Community relative to teaching.
He is chagrined he hasn't been able to visit them in person to witness their fidelity. However,the next best thing he could do was pray to Our Lord to open their eyes and heart to His creation and His sustenance.
Paul has given them the example of love by his love and prayers for them.
In our time, we try too often to rely on sensible evidence of God's love and when we don't see or feel it, we become morassed in the thought God doesn't care.
We must pray for the understanding no matter the sensibility, God never ceases to offer us His love. We must acknowledge His love by making sure ours is always available to others as His is to us.
We are urged, by the psalmist, to remember our time is not God's time. His is infinate, present and does not relate to ours in any recognizable fashion. We may sense our time in days, weeks and years. God's time doesn't accelerate or diminish, it just is!
The Gospel message is simple and straight forward. Be on the alert! Always ready; not for some bonanza of appreciation but ready for His call, all ways.
