Trust Me

You should make it a practice to never trust people who say, "Trust me."  Good advice.

However, sometimes you just don't have a choice.  You have to, because there's no other alternative: doctors, mechanics, lawyers, politicians, ...other experts.  Is it because of the few--the bad experiences, that we're wary of trusting?  But we should be, shouldn't we?

What about trusting God?

Oh.

Read Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-12.

Abraham trusted.  Mary trusted.  Jesus trusted.

Yikes, no wonder we balk at trusting God.   It's not that trusting God means that everything will be honky dory.  After all, we're not living in the Garden of Eden.  It means that God's promises will become true in the end.  The process of getting to the end, may not be smooth; that's where the trust comes in.  You have to believe that God will deliver.  Trust = Faith

St. Sophia

The Musical Presentation, "The Hard But Right Way," was a good and fitting ending for this Arise Session. It was a good and fitting ending for the Octave of Easter. Let us praise God as the main character, Christian did.

Read Sirach 51

Let us also seek the wisdom and understanding necessary to walk closer to God. As Sirach 51 teaches us, wisdom is necessary. Let us pray and seek after it. Always work towards knowing God and He will give you your reward.

Did you know that St. Sophia is the patron saint of wisdom? Her name is synonymous with wisdom. Her story is heroic, along with her martyred daughters: Faith, Hope, and Love.
