Each day, every moment in life is different and unique. We hope for the best and presume that we will be able to maintain situations and manage life to the best of our abilities. But sometimes the opposite happens and the least predictable is done by us for good or for bad. Today’s readings invite us to maintain a healthy and an obedient relationship with the Lord by submitting to His Word & relying on His leading everyday when we make our choices in life. The question is, are we sensitive to that calling? How do we respond to it? Persistence in prayer, renewing the mind in the Holy Spirit & continuously seeking the will of the Lord will definitely lead us to the answers God has for us. Saul assumed that he was following the instructions of God but in the eyes of God he had failed. We too are reminded to examine our hearts. Where do we stand? Let us open up our hearts cleanse them through repentance & refresh ourselves to accept the will of God in a new way each day.

Prayer: Abba Father, give us wisdom to understand your ways and a heart to be obedient to your calling. Amen!
