Monday of 4th Week of Lent – Is 65:17-21; Ps 29:2,4-6,11-13; John 4:43-54
The Scriptures are overflowing with words, some sweet and uplifting, and others that hit hard and challenge us. We truly need both kinds; each carries its own vibrant life. It’s a curious thing about our hearts that we often latch onto the tough words, as if we struggle to trust the kind ones.
When faced with pain and hardship, it can be tough to wrap our heads around messages like, “But be glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create.” How do we keep our peace of mind when life feels like it’s crushing us? “His anger lasts a moment; his favour all through life.” can sound hollow in dark times.
Yet, these powerful truths hold joy and hope for anyone in suffering, if we’re ready to believe. Think about the official from Capernaum – Jesus simply tells him, “Go; your son will live”. There are no long explanations or coddling words. But with obedience to that simple message, something transformative happens within. As he witnesses his son’s healing, his faith deepens – not just in the word, but in the very person of Jesus. He learns to trust Him with everything: himself and his whole family. We can do the same!
