Exodus 2:1-15 / Matthew 11:20-24
At times, life seems like a routine of uneventful activities.
We wake up in the morning, we go to work, we talk to a few people, we come home and we rest for the night.
We tend to take life for granted until something unexpected happens that make us do some deep thinking.
It could be some problems or difficulties, or something more serious like a serious illness.
Then we will realise how we have taken so many beautiful things in life for granted.
As we reflect on the 1st reading, we could see how God had saved Moses over and over and again.
When we keep reflecting about how God has come into our lives and saved us from our challenges and difficulties, as well as our struggles and troubles, then we will certainly give thanks to God.
And when we know that God is sustaining and providing for us, then we will also be ready to accept His plans for us in our lives.
In the gospel, Jesus reproached the towns in which most of His miracles had been worked.
Those towns took all that for granted and only saw the spectacular and the dramatic.
May we not be like the people of those towns, but see the hand of God showing us something in life.
Indeed, every day is full of miracles, and to be alive and to be able to do ordinary routine things is truly a great blessing from God.
May we open our eyes and minds to see the miracles and blessings from God, and may we help others to see how wonderful God’s love is for us.
