Genesis 44:18-21, 23-29; 45:1-5 / Matthew 10:7-15
When we say that we believe that God cares for us, we would be expecting that God will provide us our needs.
Certainly, God will provide for our needs because He loves us.
More so, if we are dedicated to carrying out His will, God will provide for us.
And when we carry out the mission that He entrusts to us, He will also give us what we need.
That is what Jesus is assuring us in the gospel passage.
But more that just material needs, God will also fulfill our emotional and spiritual needs.
In the 1st reading, Joseph was consoled on hearing that his father is still alive.
Joseph also understood that he being sold as a slave had a purpose in God’s plan.
Let us continue to put our faith and trust in God that He will always provide for our material and emotional needs.
And we will also see the wonder of God’s plan when we do His will and carry out what He wants of us.
