Daily Word Of God

Matthew 20:21b-23, 25b-28

• Does the mother of Zebedee’s sons remind us of how we too at times “bargain” with God for our own benefits?  How and when do such “impure” motives surface?

 

• With impure motives, we may easily drift into doing good for others, but not receiving the abundant graces that God wants to give us.

 

• Pray that we will follow the examples of Jesus to serve His Father’s Will fully and not to be served. Bring these thoughts to your prayer and listen to what the Lord is saying to you here and now.

Today's Pointers on God's Word

As you read the passage what words, phases or meanings caught your attention?

• The disciples chose to follow Jesus showed that they had much faith and trust in Him. That was how they understood and imbibed the Word of God.

 

• The only way to understand God’s Word and to draw closer to Him is to have a strong faith, love and trust in Him who is our Saviour and Lord.

 

• We too need to learn for the disciples’ faith, love and trust in the Lord.  Otherwise, we will be easily drawn away for Jesus’ Word through the attractions of the secular world.
