Be Simple and You shall Receive Wisdom

The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul; 

the decree of the Lord is trustworthy, 

giving wisdom to the simple. 

PSALM 19 : 8

Father heaven, only You are worthy of all praise, thanksgiving, and glory. Your words as written in the scriptures are all trustworthy and gives wisdom to my day to day decisions.

In Jesus Name, I humbly ask and pray for Your continued direct guidance and support to everything that I say and do. Keep me always grounded to Your word that brings life and refreshes my soul. May Your Word continue to lead me to far greater heights and I look forward to the full realization of all my dreams and wishes. Make us all live in the safety and protection of Your most loving arms, free from any form of harm, sickness and pains.

Thank You so much for transforming my once boastful and proud heart into a lowly and humble heart. You have completely removed me from a life of complicity and masketry to a life of simplicity that is full of peace, true happiness, and prosperity.

Your Word is more precious than gold and silver. All things will eventually come to an end but Your Word will stay forever. By Your Word, all things came into existence. 

All glory and honor are Yours now and forever. Amen.

God Sets Limits

In realms beyond our mortal sight, 

God’s wisdom shines, a guiding light. 

His power vast, beyond compare, 

In every breath, He’s always there.

Divine and human, worlds apart, 

Yet in His love, we find our heart. 

With humble steps, we walk His way, 

In trust and faith, we kneel and pray.

Though shadows fall and doubts arise, 

His purpose gleams in clouded skies. 

He holds the earth, the stars, the sea, 

And in His hands, our destiny.

His presence near, in joy and pain, 

A constant friend in sun and rain. 

In trials deep, His comfort flows, 

A gentle peace that ever grows.

So let us trust in wisdom pure, 

Embrace humility, secure. 

In God’s great plan, we find our role, 

His love, our anchor, makes us whole.

REFLECTION:

"When I set limits for it and fastened the bar of its door, and said: Thus far shall you come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stilled!" (Job 38:10-11)

God’s wisdom and power far exceed our understanding. There is a vast difference between divine and human knowledge. With our limited perspective, humility is important in our relationship with God. 

Even when we don’t understand our circumstances, we can trust that God has a purpose and plan. His control over the natural world assures us that He is also in control of our lives. God’s presence and engagement with us provides comfort and assurance that He is always with us, even in our trials. 

Let us trust in God’s wisdom, embrace humility, and find comfort in His presence, knowing that He is always in control.

Heavenly Father,

Your wisdom and power far exceed our understanding. We acknowledge the vast difference between Your divine knowledge and our human perspective. In our limited view, we seek humility in our relationship with You.

Even when we don’t understand our circumstances, we trust that You have a purpose and a plan for us. Your control over the natural world assures us that You are also in control of our lives.

Lord, Your presence and engagement with us provide comfort and assurance. We are grateful that You are always with us, even in our trials. Help us to trust in Your wisdom, embrace humility, and find comfort in Your presence.

May we always remember that You are in control, guiding us with Your loving hand.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.

VII: The Lord's Speech

Job 38:1-41

First Reading | Job 38:1, 8-11

1 The Lord addressed Job out of the storm and said: 8 Who shut within doors the sea, when it burst forth from the womb; 9 when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling bands? 10 When I set limits for it and fastened the bar of its door, 11 and said: Thus far shall you come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stilled!

Background:

In Job 38:1, 8-11, God finally responds to Job after a long period of silence. Job had been suffering immensely and questioning why these calamities had befallen him, seeking answers from God.

Job 38:1: God speaks to Job out of a whirlwind, a powerful and awe-inspiring manifestation of His presence. This moment marks a significant shift in the narrative, as God directly addresses Job’s questions and complaints.

Job 38:8-11: God describes His control over the natural world, specifically the sea. He asks Job if he was there when He set the boundaries for the sea, emphasizing His sovereignty and the order He established in creation. This passage highlights God’s power and wisdom, reminding Job of the vast difference between divine and human understanding.

This section of Job serves to remind us of God’s ultimate authority and the limits of human comprehension. It encourages trust in God’s wisdom and provision, even when we don’t fully understand His ways.

Learning Lessons:

Reflecting on Job 38:1, 8-11, we can draw several profound lessons:

Acknowledging God’s Sovereignty: God speaks to Job out of the whirlwind, emphasizing His supreme authority and control over all creation. This reminds us that God’s wisdom and power far exceed our understanding.

Recognizing Human Limitations: God’s questions to Job highlight the vast difference between divine and human knowledge. We are reminded of our limited perspective and the importance of humility in our relationship with God.

Trusting in God’s Wisdom: Even when we don’t understand our circumstances, we can trust that God has a purpose and plan. His control over the natural world assures us that He is also in control of our lives.

Finding Comfort in God’s Presence: Despite Job’s suffering, God’s response shows that He is not distant. God’s presence and engagement with Job provide comfort and assurance that He is always with us, even in our trials.

Embracing the Mystery of Creation: God’s description of setting boundaries for the sea and controlling the natural world invites us to marvel at the complexity and beauty of His creation. It encourages us to appreciate the mystery and majesty of God’s work.

These lessons encourage us to trust in God’s wisdom, embrace humility, and find comfort in His presence, knowing that He is always in control.

Filled with the Holy Spirit

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit 

and began to speak in different tongues, 

as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. 

(Acts 2:4)

God’s word is trustworthy, providing a remarkable instance of a fulfilled prophecy. The incredible events on the day of Pentecost were the fulfillment of what the prophet Joel had foretold centuries before. This should encourage us to trust in God’s promises in our life. Just as the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples, He is available to us, offering strength and wisdom for our journey. We were imbued with power from on high enabling us to spread the teachings of Jesus Christ to people of different languages and nations.

In the realm where trust is a must,

God's word stands firm, in it we thrust.

A prophecy fulfilled, a sight so grand,

On the day of Pentecost, as foretold in our land.

Joel's words echoed through time and space,

Centuries passed, yet they held their grace.

An event so incredible, a spectacle so vast,

A testament to promises that forever last.

In life's journey, as we strive and strive,

God's promises are the wind in our drive.

His word, a beacon, His love, our guide,

In His wisdom and strength, we confide.

The Holy Spirit, a gift so divine,

Empowered the disciples, made them shine.

Available to us, in every high and low,

Guiding us, in the paths we go.

Imbued with power, from realms above,

Spreading Jesus' teachings, His message of love.

To nations afar, languages wide,

In the power of His word, we confide.

Dear Heavenly Father,

In the quiet of this moment, we come to You, acknowledging Your word as ever true. A prophecy fulfilled, a testament so grand, on the day of Pentecost, as Joel's words had planned.

We stand in awe of Your promises so divine, a beacon of hope, in our lives they shine. Just as the disciples were empowered from above, fill us with Your Spirit, envelop us in Your love. Guide us on our journey, be our strength and light, in every challenge, every plight. Imbue us with Your power, let Your wisdom unfold, help us spread Your teachings, let Your love be told.

To nations afar, languages wide, may Your word resonate, in hearts worldwide. In Your promises, we find our trust, in Your love, we find a bond so robust.

In Jesus' name, we pray,

Amen.

I: The Preparation for the Christian Mission

THE COMING OF THE SPIRIT

Acts 2:1-13

First Reading | Acts 2:1-11

1 When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. 2 And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. 3 Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. 5 Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. 6 At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7 They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language? 9 We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, 11 both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.”

Background:

Acts 2:1-11 is a significant passage in the New Testament of the Bible. It describes the event known as the Day of Pentecost, which marks the birth of the Church. Here’s some background information:

Day of Pentecost: This was a Jewish feast held 50 days after Passover, celebrating the firstfruits of the wheat harvest. On the Old Testament Day of Pentecost, Israel received the Law; on the New Testament Day of Pentecost, the Church received the Spirit of Grace in fullness.

The Event: The disciples were all together in one place when suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.

Speaking in Tongues: The disciples, empowered by the Spirit, began to speak in different languages. This amazed the diverse crowd gathered in Jerusalem, as everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

The Crowd: The crowd was made up of Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. When they heard the sound, they came together, and they were bewildered.

This event signifies the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the disciples, enabling them to spread the teachings of Jesus Christ to people of different languages and nations. It’s a pivotal moment in the establishment of the Christian Church. 

Peter’s sermon following the events of Acts 2:1-11 is a significant moment in the New Testament. Here are some key points from his sermon:

Addressing the Crowd: Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed the crowd. He clarified that the disciples were not drunk as some in the crowd had suggested.

Fulfillment of Joel’s Prophecy: Peter explained that the events they were witnessing were the fulfillment of the prophecy made by Joel. He quoted Joel’s prophecy about God pouring out His Spirit on all people, leading them to prophesy and see visions.

Jesus Christ: Peter spoke about Jesus, whom they had handed over and disowned. He emphasized that God had raised Jesus from the dead, a fact to which all the disciples were witnesses.

David’s Prophecy: Peter referred to David’s prophecy about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His body experience decay.

Exaltation of Jesus: Peter declared that Jesus was exalted to the right hand of God and had received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father. He stated that what the crowd was witnessing was the outpouring of the Spirit promised by Jesus.

Call to Repentance: Peter concluded his sermon by urging the people to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.

Peter’s sermon on the Day of Pentecost was a powerful proclamation of the Gospel, emphasizing the fulfillment of prophecy, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It led to the conversion of about three thousand souls, marking a significant growth in the early Christian church

Learning Lessons:

Acts 2:1-11 provides several important lessons that can be applied to our daily lives:

Empowerment Through the Holy Spirit: The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, which enabled them to speak in various languages. This was not about linguistic prowess, but a clear signal that they were imbued with power from on high. Just as the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples, He is available to us, offering strength and wisdom for our journey.

Fulfillment of Joel’s Prophecy: Acts 2 reassures us that God’s word is trustworthy, providing a remarkable instance of a fulfilled prophecy. Peter explains that the incredible events on the day of Pentecost were the fulfillment of what the prophet Joel had foretold centuries before. This should encourage us to trust in God’s promises in our life.

Significance of Jesus’ Resurrection: Acts 2 brings forth a beacon of hope in uncertainties. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a central theme in Christianity and it signifies victory over death.

The Birth of the Church: The Day of Pentecost marks the birth of the Church. It signifies the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the disciples, enabling them to spread the teachings of Jesus Christ to people of different languages and nations.

Unity in Diversity: The diverse crowd was able to understand the disciples as they spoke in their own languages. This event emphasizes the importance of unity in diversity, a principle that is still relevant today.

These lessons remind us of the power of faith, the reliability of God’s promises, and the importance of unity and diversity in the community. They also highlight the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering believers to live out their faith. (Copilot)

Through the Holy Spirit

“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid 

to take Mary your wife into your home. 

For it is through the Holy Spirit 

that this child has been conceived in her."

(Matthew 1:20)

The conception of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit signifies the divine intervention in human history. It teaches us about the omnipotence of God, who can make the impossible possible. Joseph’s decision to take Mary as his wife, despite the unusual circumstances, demonstrates immense faith and obedience. He trusted in God’s message delivered through the angel, showing us the importance of faith in God’s plan, even when it doesn’t align with societal norms or our own understanding. The angel announced that Jesus would save His people from their sins. This brings a message of hope and salvation, reminding us of God’s merciful nature and His desire for reconciliation with humanity.

In history's fabric, divine threads intertwine,

Jesus' conception, a sign of the divine.

The Holy Spirit's work, a mystery unfurled,

God's omnipotence displayed to the world.

Making possible what seems impossible to all,

God's power and might, on it we can call.

Joseph, a man of faith, obedient and true,

Accepted God's plan, a perspective anew.

Despite the unusual, the unexpected, the strange,

Joseph trusted in God, embraced the change.

An angel's message, a divine revelation,

Joseph followed in faith, without hesitation.

The angel announced, with a voice clear and bright,

Jesus would save people from their plight.

A message of hope, of salvation so grand,

A testament to God's merciful hand.

In God's plan, even when it's concealed,

Through faith and obedience, it's revealed.

So let us remember, in every situation,

God's desire for reconciliation.

Dear Lord Jesus,

We acknowledge Your divine conception through the Holy Spirit, a testament to the divine intervention in human history. We are in awe of the omnipotence of God, who makes the impossible possible.

We admire Joseph's immense faith and obedience. Despite the unusual circumstances, he trusted in God’s message delivered through the angel. This teaches us about the importance of faith in God’s plan, even when it doesn’t align with societal norms or our own understanding.

We rejoice in the angel's announcement that You, Jesus, would save Your people from their sins. This brings us a message of hope and salvation, reminding us of God’s merciful nature and His desire for reconciliation with humanity.

In Your holy name, we pray, Amen.

Filled with Wisdom and the Favor of God

The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; 

and the favor of God was upon him. 

LUKE 2:40

Jesus came as a child, humble and meek, born in a manger, no place for the weak. But He was the Son of God, the Word made flesh, the hope of the world, the Savior of the oppressed. He grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. He learned from His parents, and obeyed the Father's plan. He amazed the teachers in the temple, with His understanding and His answers. He revealed the mysteries of the kingdom, with His parables and His wonders. He was full of grace and truth, and the Spirit without measure. He healed the sick and raised the dead, and gave the poor His treasure. He was tempted in every way, yet He did not sin. He suffered for our sake, and died to make us win. He rose from the grave, victorious and alive. He ascended to heaven, to prepare us a place and a bride. He is the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the one we adore

There was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty- four. She never left the temple, but worshipped night and day with fasting and prayer. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem. When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him. (Luke 2:36-40)

Jesus came from heaven, not to be served, but to serve. He laid down His life, not to be spared, but to save. He obeyed the Father, not to please Himself, but to glorify. He fulfilled the Scriptures, not to prove Himself, but to testify. He faced the cross, not to avoid the pain, but to endure. He bore our sins, not to condemn us, but to forgive. He shed His blood, not to stain us, but to cleanse. He gave His Spirit, not to leave us, but to indwell. He conquered death, not to stay in the grave, but to rise. He showed His wounds, not to shame us, but to heal. He opened His arms, not to reject us, but to embrace. He gave His promise, not to forget us, but to return.

I am writing to you, children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name’s sake. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong and the word of God remains in you, and you have conquered the evil one. Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust, enticement for the eyes, and a pretentious life, is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever. (1 John 2:12-17)

Give to the Lord with a cheerful heart for He is the source of all you have. Give to the Lord with a grateful mind for He is the one who gives you life. Give to the Lord with a generous hand for He is the provider of your needs. Give to the Lord with a faithful spirit for He is the rewarder of your deeds. Give to the Lord with a joyful song for He is the maker of your voice. Give to the Lord with a humble soul for He is the reason for your rejoice.

Give to the Lord, you families of nations, give to the Lord glory and praise; give to the Lord the glory due his name! Bring gifts, and enter his courts; worship the Lord in holy attire. Tremble before him, all the earth. Say among the nations: the Lord is king. He has made the world firm, not to be moved; he governs the peoples with equity. (Psalm 96:7-8, 8-9, 10)

Lord, I want to do Your will but sometimes I don't know how. There are so many voices in the world that try to drown me out. Sometimes I'm afraid, there are so many challenges in life that make me doubt Your ways. Sometimes I'm too weak, there are so many temptations in the flesh that make me lose my streak. But then I hear Your gentle voice that whispers in my ear saying, "My child, I'm with you always, you have nothing to fear. I have a plan for your life that only I can fulfill. Trust in Me and follow Me and you will do My will." Fill me with Your wisdom O Lord and may Your favor be always upon me. I humbly give you my all in Jesus Name. Amen.

GOD OF THE UNIVERSE

Psalm 96:1-13

WISDOM IS VINDICATED BY HER WORKS

The Son of Man came eating and drinking

and they said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard,

a friend of tax collectors and sinners.

But wisdom is vindicated by her works."

Matthew 11:-19

Some religious leaders who criticized and rejected Jesus' message and ministry are never satisfied with anything He says or do. Their human wisdom is based on worldly standards and expectations, which often judge by appearances and prejudices. Their negative perception is based on their own biases, stereotypes, or expectations. 

True wisdom is proven by the results or consequences of one’s actions. The word “wisdom” here refers to God’s plan of salvation, which is revealed through Jesus, the Son of Man. He is the embodiment of God’s wisdom, and those who believe in him are his children (John 1:12; 1 Corinthians 1:24, 30).

Divine wisdom is based on God’s revelation and grace, which often challenge and surprise human understanding. Jesus invites his listeners to trust in God’s wisdom, even if it seems foolish or scandalous to human wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:18-25; 2:6-16). He also warns them that they will be held accountable for their response to God’s wisdom, and that their actions will reveal their true character (Matthew 7:15-23; 12:33-37; Luke 6:43-45).

Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is vindicated by her works.” (Matthew 11:16-19)

God is the source of wisdom and guidance for His people, and He wants them to follow His will and benefit from His blessings. God is faithful and gracious, even when His people are rebellious and ungrateful. He invites them to trust in Him and His plan for their salvation. Obey the Lord’s commandments and you shall enjoy peace and prosperity like a river that never runs dry. Your righteousness shall be like the waves of the sea, abundant and constant.

Thus says the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel I, the Lord, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go. If you would hearken to my commandments, your prosperity would be like a river, and your vindication like the waves of the sea; Your descendants would be like the sand, and those born of your stock like its grains, their name never cut off or blotted out from my presence. (Isaiah 48:17-19)

There comes so much joy and satisfaction from obeying God’s commands and studying His word. A person who delights in the law of the Lord loves God’s word, reads it regularly, and applies it to his life.

Blessed the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked nor walks in the way of sinners, nor sits in the company of the insolent, but delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on his law day and night. He is like a tree planted near running water that yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves never fade. Whatever he does, prospers. Not so the wicked, not so; they are like chaff which the wind drives away. For the Lord watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked vanishes. (Psalm 1:1-2, 3, 4, 6)

Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished." (Matthew 5:17-18:)

Jesus fulfilled the law of the Lord by living a perfect life, dying for our sins, and rising from the dead. He also taught us the true meaning and purpose of the law, which is to love God and love our neighbor. He said in Matthew 22:37-40: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

Therefore, let us all delight in the law of the Lord by loving God and His word, and to loving others as He loves us. Let us follow the example and teachings of Jesus, who is the Word of God made flesh. Then we shall experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing and obeying God’s will.

Creation is Creativity in Action

Meditate on the word CREATION and you shall come across the words CREATIVITY and ACTION.

Creativity in Action is making something out of nothing. Something that is born out of a passion or emotion. It is always something that is reflective upon the Creator because it is a part of him and identifies itself with him.

Anything a Creator makes he loves. For what he hates, he would not have fashioned. This is why a man continues to exist until today because God had willed and preserved him to remain. Other creatures have met their extinction. But men continue to be spared because of God's love for them. The Creator sees himself in them for his own spirit gives them life. It is only incumbent upon us therefore, to always give praises to God as our Creator and bless his name forever! We continue to exist only because of his grace, mercy and love.

Creativity in Action has brought us to Creation, a divine work from God that was tailored fit for perfection. But the sin of man has brought death and destruction which can only be restored by way of salvation.

Salvation only comes from Christ whose death and resurrection has brought forth reconciliation as fulfillment of His Mission.

God has always been good and compassionate to us as a Father accepting us as his own children in Christ, although in reality and truth, we are just one among the infinite creatures he created in the universe.

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10)

Is there really something new in this day and age? 

God is the source of all creation and only him can make things new. Any scientific breakthrough in this day and age can not be branded as new but more of a discovery. Advancement in science and technology is nothing more than discovering the unknown which has already been created way back in time by God.

Man is mistaken if he thinks of discrediting God as the one who created all things. There is nothing in this world that he did not create nor was it not foretold in the prophecies of old. All men were by nature foolish who were in ignorance of God, and who from the good things seen did not succeed in knowing him who is, and from studying the works did not discern the artisan. (Wisdom 13:1)

Let them know how far more excellent is the Lord than these; for the original source of beauty fashioned them.Or if they were struck by their might and energy, let them from these things realize how much more powerful is He who made them.For from the greatness and the beauty of created things their original author, by analogy, is seen. (Wisdom 13:3-5)

If they so far succeeded in knowledge that they could speculate about the world, how did they not more quickly find its Lord? ((Wisdom 13:9)
