Do we seek wisdom?

 

26th February 2025

7th   Week Wednesday of Ordinary Time

Year One

Sir 4:11-19

Those who seek wisdom will have life, joy, glory and blessings. The Lord loves those who love wisdom. They will govern nations, and they will be secure and safe. Those who have faith in wisdom will have it, and it will remain with them. It will help them to live well and do right. If one does not follow, it will be ruined.

Do we seek wisdom?

Year Two

James 4:13-17

Human beings make plans for business and life. They are sure of their plans and schemes. Yet, at times, humans are sure of their plans and programs; they make them arrogant and boastful, which leads to evil. Self-sufficiency leads one to evil against others and God. Dependence upon God and others is life and leads to communion and happiness.

In most cases, humans know what to do but sometimes choose to do evil. Knowing what is right and choosing to do evil makes us against God and others, leading us to feel guilty and sinful in the sight of God. One has to develop spiritual strength slowly and steadily to say no to what is wrong and to be able to choose right every time with the help of God. In this dilemma of choosing evil and good one is not alone; the holy Spirit is at work. Let us be bold enough to make choices in life for good with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Do we depend upon God and others?

Gospel Mk 9:38-40

Anyone can do good in the name of Jesus. Those who do good in the proper sense are with and in God. Those who are with Jesus cannot be against him. It is good to check if we are with Jesus. Sometimes, we may be doing great things in the world. It may even be miracles, but are we with God? The good is deceiving yet times. It is essential to be with Jesus; then we will not go astray or live in evil.

Are our good actions in Jesus' way?
