Exodus 3:1-4, 9-12 / Matthew 11:25-27
When it comes to challenging our thinking and imagination, riddles and puzzles provide a fun and enlightening way.
The question may seem so difficult, but the answer is so simple.
For example - Riddle: Which word becomes shorter when 2 letters are added to it? Answer: The word “short.”
In a way, the challenges and difficulties of life are like riddles and puzzles.
The solution is so simple, yet we think of complex and sophisticated ways to solve the problems of life.
In the gospel, Jesus says that God reveals the mysteries of life to mere children.
That is because children’s thinking is simple and they wonder with imagination.
In the 1st reading, Moses was wondering about the burning bush that was not burnt.
Instead of thinking about why it was not burnt, he went up to see this strange sight.
It was then he encountered God who then revealed His plan for Moses.
As we think about the challenges and difficulties that we face in life, let us ponder about what is revealed to us.
When we go before the Lord in prayer, He will reveal to us what we need to know as well what we need to do.
