Acts 9:1-20 / John 6:52-59
Most of us work hard, and sometimes too hard.
Short of being an workaholic, we sacrifice our sleeping time, our family, our own time, just to keep up with our busy work.
But the fact is that there will always be work, and we will always be busy with work.
So, we must decide when to rest, otherwise God will decide for us.
So when God intervenes, then it will be in His time and in His way.
In the 1st reading, Saul was breathing threats to slaughter the Lord’s disciples.
And the Lord’s disciples could be wondering how to stop Saul who was working so hard to eliminate them.
And on that road to Damascus, their prayers were answered.
That light from heaven made Saul stop, and also made him listen to the Lord’s voice.
In life, we need to stop and take a rest from all that busy work that we are doing.
We need to pray and listen to the Lord’s voice and to see what He is showing us.
So we may work hard, and we are busy.
But let us remember that we are called to be holy.
Let us decide when to rest and pray, so that we will know what is the work that God wants us to do.
