We all know how easy it is to complain or grumble, maybe we feel God is holding somethng against us, or we try to blame someone else. We get fearful or anxious that God has abandoned us.
Where do these thoughs come from? From the DEVIL, the accuser, He likes nothing better than to sow division and suspicion. We need to let the memory of God's love and faithfulness push aside the fears and the temptations.
Take some time to let the Holy Spirit refresh your memory. As you continue to read from Exodus this week, reflect on our own lifes. See wether God has been at work, whether it is a physical, spiritual or reconciliation with a family member or unexpected way out of a troubling situation. Rekindled by God's love, you will be more eager to trust and follow him in future.
Recall yesterday's Gospel that Jesus invited his disciples, excited from their recent experience of their mission, to get away for a time to rest (Mark 6:31). Rest in God's love and peace. Refresh yourself and draw nearer to the Father through reconciliation if you have been away.
