    Emmanuel

    TRUST GOD AND HE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU ALWAYS.

    "Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the one who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a barren bush in the desert that enjoys no change of season, but stands in a lava waste, a salt and empty earth. Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord. He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: it fears not the heat when it comes; its leaves stay green; in the year of drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit." (Jeremiah 17: 5 - 8).

    Sunday 13th February 2022, in the 6th Week in Ordinary Time.  Jeremiah offers us curse or blessing as Moses before him.
    "See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse." (Deuteronomy 11: 16).

    What are the things that make our hearts turn away from the Lord? In one word: IDOLATRY! Something we love more than we love God. They could be any or all of the following:
    Money, Job, Health, Family, Possessions, Food, Worries.

    The Prophet Jeremiah continues:
    "Blessed are those who trust in the Lord; the Lord will be their trust.
    They are like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: It does not fear heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it shows no distress, but still produces fruit." (Jeremiah 17: 7 - 8).

    All the gold, silver and diamond belong to God. He provides food to all living things. Our future, destiny and security lie in His mighty hands.
    How foolish it is to place your trust in mortal man who cannot save himself. Nobody gives that which has not says an old Roman proverb.

    Things that move our hearts to trust in the Lord and receive blessings and be blessing to others are: Prayer, Word of God, Eucharist, Penance, Ministry, Spiritual Reading.

    "Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the Lord, your God, obeying his voice, and holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you, a long life for you to live on the land which the Lord swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them." (Deuteronomy 30: 19 - 20).
