Isaiah 26:1-6 / Matthew 7:21, 24-27
Going for meetings is something that we do, and some of us have to go for more meetings than others.
Yet we may not be that excited in going for meetings, especially when we do it with resignation and even frustration.
Maybe it is because our experience of going for meetings are occasions of a lot of talk but there is not much of action or decision.
In life, we express ourselves not just in words but also in concrete actions.
In the 1st reading, we hear the prophet Isaiah proclaim the Lord is the everlasting Rock and that we must trust in the Lord forever.
But that trust must be expressed in our lives and not remain as concepts and ideas or even as wishes in our minds.
So we trust in the Lord when we choose to tell the truth, because we believe that the truth will set us free.
We trust in the Lord when we choose to do good instead of returning evil for evil because we believe that good will overcome evil.
We trust in the Lord when we forgive because in forgiving others, we too are healed and forgiven.
When we trust in the Lord our Rock, He will come to meet us in love and in turn we will go forth in love to meet others.
