Gospel Reflections #285: We think we know, Yet we really don't

Luke 13:54-56 "Jesus also said to the crowd. "As soon as you see a cloud going out to the west, you say, 'A shower It will be true. And it will be so. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be hot. And so it is. You hypocrites, you know how to discern the patterns of the sky and the earth, but why do you not know how to discern the present time?

We humans have only myopic eyes and wisdom. Wisdom in life is acquired from our experiences.

God has similarly equipped us to experience His wisdom in our lives.

God also takes care to make it known to us through the Bible.

Why don't we know God's signs?

Maybe it is because we are not looking for God's signs and are not waiting for them.

So why are we so?

Could it be because we don't know much about God, yet we think we do?

God calls those who pretend to know when they don't, hypocrites, and reminds us of who we really are.

The more we know God's true nature in our experience, the more we will not want to miss a single sign He gives us, and the more we will be glad to find His signs everywhere.

God is not rebuking us, but wants us to notice. Those that notice it will make each day a new beginning, a day filled with joy.

God is making our days new.

Let us savor it and share it with others today.
