TODAY’S WORD…

.

Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in You.

.

I say to the Lord, “You are the Lord, my only source of well-being.”.

.

– Psalm 16:1-2

.

REFLECTION…

.

When, for whatever reason, I distance myself from God,

the goodness in me loses its divine protection and I become openly susceptible to worldly (and moral) corruption.

.

We can ill afford to remove ourselves from the Lord’s protection.

Without Him, we are nothing;

away from Him, our weaknesses can easily take over;

apart from Him, we have no good

and we make ourselves easy prey for the devil,

who is always there “prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (cf. 1 Pet 5:8)

PRAYER…

.

Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in You.

You are the Lord, my only source of well-being.
