TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“If one blind person guides another, both will fall into a pit.”

.

– Matthew 15:14b (NRSV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

If the blind lead the blind,

both shall fall

into the pit of ignorance and error;

of irreverence, immorality and un-holiness;

of distress and despair;

of the ruin and destruction of their soul.

.

If my faith in Christ is weak,

it must be because I do not know Him well

and a result of not having made time for Him.

.

If I am blind to the True Light which enlightens us,

then I could easily find myself seeking counsel, help and advice

– sometimes without even realising it –

from friends or “professionals”

who are, consciously or otherwise, more blind then I am.

.

Why do I, a baptised Christian,

seek solutions from sources that do not recognise Christ as Lord?

Why am I so ready to compromise and put aside my religious beliefs?

.

It is either because

I have not really delved enough into the Truth

that has been with me since my Baptism,

or else it is simply because

the solution that Christ gives me is not the one I want to hear!

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

O Lord, come to my aid

and save me with Your Light and Truth!
