Today's #Reflection #Catholicreflection #Dailygospel #Gospelreflection #olfaguda WISDOM/RICHES; WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOOSE?
In the Old Testament, wisdom is a God-given and God-Centered discernment regarding the practical issues of life. Wisdom come from prayer for God’s help. Wealth may be defined as the ability to experience and enjoy God’s blessings. However, in 2Kings 3:6-9, Solomon was traditionally the wisest man in all Israel. He prayed for the right things and had not been misled by worldly vanities. Solomon gives account of how he chose wisdom instead of wealth; sceptre and throne (Wisdom 7:8). Those who had wisdom were in possession of the greatest of God’s gifts. The rich man in the gospel (Mark 10:17-30), preferred his riches to eternal life. Jesus will not force the door to open. In Rev. 3:20, says “Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will thine with him and he with me.” Jesus respects our freedom. Jesus loved the man in the gospel (Mark 10:17-21) and he wanted him to be with him, the most valuable riches in life but he held on to a less valuable wealth, instead of dropping it to embrace Christ from whom all riches come. The man went away sad, and destroyed his life. In Hebrews 4:12, God knows us, true and true, His word is active and living. He knows who wants to follow him with sincerity of heart. Today we are challenged to flee from materialism; for what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul (Mark 8:36). May we seek the true wisdom from God and detach from earthly goods. Lord teach us to know the shortness our lives, that we may gain wisdom of heart (Psalm 90:12). Let us avoid all sorts of evil and then keep God’s Commandments.
