He knows and holds your future

 Saturday of the first week in Ordinary Time. Year C

He knows and holds your future

“The LORD anoints you commander over his heritage.You are to govern the LORD’s people Israel" (1 Sm 9:1-4, 17-19; 10:1)

Beloved, the ways of the Lord is perfect, and different from ours. Saul did not plan what happened to him today, God led him through the search for the lost asses of his father, to his destiny of kingship. 

God knew Saul's future, his strength and weakness, yet he still goes on to annoint him.  He perfects his plan in mysterious ways. Jesus continues in like manner, he said he did not come to call the righteous but sinners. 

Beloved, don't be over worried about your past or future, put them in the hands of Him who holds the key to your life and future. Don't also condemn anyone. You see dearly beloved, every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. You are destined for greatness and God is willing to hold you by the hand, to lead you to the rightful place he prepared for you before you were born. He does this in mysterious ways, you only need to trust him, and live in the present moment, grateful for the past and hopeful for the future. 

Good morning and have a blessed day.
