For where your treasure is, there will be your heart also
Today’s readings remind us that God has chosen us all as his own. They also highlight the importance of our humble faith and trust in God, who calls us to ‘joyfully take courage’ in the world.
In the Gospel, Jesus teaches that while the Kingdom of God has, in one sense, already arrived, in another it is still to come: it is both a gift and a challenge to us. It is therefore vital that we are awake to meet the Master whenever he returns, committing our hearts to the unfailing treasures of his kingdom.
This week we might take our prayer from today’s theme: Father, please deepen our trust in you, so we may live joyfully and with courage. We also continue to pray for peace across the world.
