“Fear and dread she brings upon him
and tries him with her discipline
until she try him by her laws and trust his soul.
Then she comes back to bring him happiness
and reveal her secrets to them
and she will heap upon him
treasures of knowledge and an understanding of justice.”
via USCCB | NAB – February 23, 2011.
When the Lord guides us with His Wisdom…He carries us out of our comfort zone. It feels intimidating and risky at first, but then the blessings flow as we step out in faith.
As we do this, another interesting thing happens…we prod others out of THEIR comfort zones as well. We’ll know this most assuredly by the their reactions. Have you ever been awakened from a deep sleep? It’s no fun…even if it is for your own good. Realizing this, helps us to not react in kind but to bring forth God’s grace instead…a smile, a kind word, a prayer…or simply letting something go with no reaction at all.
