To say that we believe in God, it does not mean to have a blind faith.
Rather it must be a reasonable belief and we must be able to explain to a certain extent, the hope we have in what we believe.
But beside having a reasonable belief, the faith in what we believe in must also raise our minds and heart from the things of earth to the things above.
In the 1st reading, faith is described as being interested in spiritual things.
When we see the spiritual dimension of our faith, then we would be able to see the spiritual meaning of what is happening in our lives.
Things always happen for a reason, and there are no accidents.
So even like a simple parable as in the gospel has a personal message for each of us.
Let us ask the Lord for the gift of spiritual insight and we will see clearly the hand of God directing us in life.
