Although it is good to plan for the future and dream of better days, we should not lose sight of what is right before us. There are so many opportunities to do God’s Will and to love our neighbors that we should not ignore them in favor of what might be. We should remember that Jesus, and the Kingdom of God, is among us in those who need our help. Once we have taken care of our present obligations, then we can look to the future and our greater hopes. It is only by being vigilant in our faith that we can make sure that we are ready for God when He comes into our lives.
Are we taking advantage of those opportunities to do God’s Will right now? Are we keeping our hearts open to those moments when Jesus is calling us to service of Himself or His children. Do our lives make the Kingdom of God present to others?
O Lord, help us to recognize you when you come into our lives.
Amen.
