15th Week, Ordinary Time, Tuesday, 13-07-2021

Exodus 2:1-15 / Matthew 11:20-24     

We don't know what the future is but it would be necessary to think about the future.

As much as we don't live in the future or be anxious by it, yet the future lives in us.

Because each of us has a future and collectively we journey towards that future.

For the mother of Moses, she decided that her baby was not going to be thrown into the river by the Egyptians and that his life would end there.

She decided that there will be a future for her baby Moses, and so she put him in a basket and laid it among the reeds at the river's edge.

The mother of Moses did what she could and placed it all in the hands of God to decide the future for Moses.

In the gospel, Jesus indicated what the future would be like for the cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida and Capernaum if they don't repent and heed the message of salvation.

We all have a future and we have to decide what that future is going to be like.

For the mother of Moses, she did what she could and left the future of her baby in the hands of God.

Let us place our future in the hands of God and decide for now that we heed the message of repentance and salvation and live our live in peace and love.
