TODAY’S BIBLE VERSE:

Proverbs 3: 5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight you path.

Personally, I think it is good for us to have trials and troubles at times, for they often remind us that we are on probation and ought not to hope in any worldly things. It is in times of trouble that I tend to see things more transparent than what I envision in my perception of reality. It is good for us sometimes to suffer contradiction, to be misjudged by men even though we do well and mean well. These things help us to be humble and shield us from vainglory. When men don’t think well of us or does not give us any credit, then we are more inclined to seek God who sees our hearts. Therefore, a man ought to root himself firmly in God that he will not need the consolation of men.

When a man of good will is afflicted, tempted, and tormented by evil thoughts, he realizes clearly that his greatest need is God, without Whom he can do no good. Saddened by his miseries and sufferings, he seeks God’s comfort and guidance and prays. . Then he understands fully that perfect security and complete peace cannot be found on earth but with our Heavenly Father.

Most sacred heart of Jesus, I trust in you.
