Experience the Marvelous

~~~ Genesis 18:1-15 ~~~ 

~~~ (Psalm) LUKE 1:46-47, 48-49, 50 AND 53, 54-55 ~~~

~~~ Matthew 8:5-17 ~~~

He took away our infirmities 

and bore our diseases.

Three visitors came to the tent of Abraham.

They too confirmed that Sarah would indeed conceive 

and bear a son in spite of her old age.

Sarah laughed as I would as well.

A woman is only able to conceive a child while her body

 is producing the proper hormones. 

Is anything too marvelous for the LORD to do?

These three men reminded Abraham and Sarah

that when God enters into the picture

things may not follow the expected rules.

God's plans are not bound by even the laws of nature.

In our hearts we do believe that God can do anything,

this is our motivation for many of our prayers.

We turn to God when we are presented 

with impossible situations.

Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof;

only say the word and my servant will be healed.

At every Eucharistic celebration we come to the table 

of the Lord with all of our infirmities, shortcomings, and desires.

We humbly acknowledge that we are not worthy 

to receive the Lord into our bodies.

At the same time, in faith, we trust that God 

will enter into our soul with his healing presence. 

We believe that he does marvelous things...

things we could never dream possible.

God will always be God

even when he does not respond to our liking.

It must be our faith that carries us forward into our doubts.

Without faith the centurion would not have asked 

Jesus to heal his servant.

It is this same faith that we pray before 

receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Eucharist.

May our marvelous God

continue to Bless you in all ways.

~~~Peace~~~
