Daily Word Of God

Matthew 10:26-28,32-33

Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows: ‘Do not be afraid. Everything now covered up will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the daylight; what you hear in whispers, proclaim from the housetops.

‘Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell.

‘So if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of human beings, I will declare myself for him in the presence of my Father in heaven. But the one who disowns me in the presence of human beings, I will disown in the presence of my Father in heaven.’

Today's Pointers on God's Word

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

  • The sins we commitg. immorality, injustice etc. are committed under the cover of darkness to avoid embarrassment.

 

  • However, nothing can be hidden from God as He is present in all situations of our lives.

 

  • Pray for the grace to be more fully aware of God’s presence in our daily living so that our thoughts, words and deeds are more Christ-like.
