The Second week of Advent
St. Lucy, virgin, martyr
Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word:
Sirach 48:1-4,9-11
Psalm 80:2-3,15-16,18-19
Matthew 17:10-13
Have you ever had a dream you were pursuing but it just wasn't being realized?
Think of Joseph. He had a dream of doing great things for God, and soon after he was thrown into a hole by his brothers and sold into slavery. Then there was prison. He could have lost hope. But the dream was fulfilled in its time.
Think of David. Annointed to be King at a young age. But did he take the throne right away? No! He spent years running around the desert, hiding from cave to cave from the wrath of Saul. But his dreams of the kingdom came to pass, at the appointed time.
Just because your ‘dream’ hasn't been fulfilled yet, does not necessarily mean that you were mistaken for having it in the first place. Trust in God. He has ways that are beyond our own and is full of surprises.
