That's what happened in today's Gospel.
"And the report of this went through all that district" - Matthew 9:26
What report became viral?
That Jesus visited the daughter of an official who was believed to be dead. Then Jesus "took her by the hand, & the girl arose." (Matthew 9:25)
Wow, awesome news indeed! I can imagine that news trending in today’s time. It would easily get a thousand LIKES. Plus several re-posts too.
This is the type of news that you should be spreading, right?
* Less fake news, more FAITH news.
* Less words of desperation, more words of HOPE.
* Less hatred, more LOVE.
* Less division, more cooperation.
But the best news that you can spread is God’s assuring PRESENCE.
That God will always be there for you.
God promises His PRESENCE in today’s 1st reading where He says, “Behold, I am with you & will keep you wherever you go”. Jesus shows this in the Gospel. When the official reported that his daughter was dead, “Jesus rose & followed him” (Matthew 9:19). No questions asked. He did not check if the official was a Jew or a believer. He just rose & followed him.
The Psalm 91:4 also proclaims this when it says that God “will cover you with his pinions, & under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield & buckler.”
You are always safe under the “wings” of God. If you’re afraid of life’s troubles then go to God. Trust God. Because “he who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, "My refuge & my fortress; my God, in whom I trust." ( 91:1-2 )
That’s the best news that’s worth spreading.
That GOD IS WITH YOU ALWAYS. All the time, anytime.
It’s you who chooses to move away from Him.
So always aim to be with God. Be safe under His wings.
My FB friend, what type of news are your spreading?
Have a blessed week! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
