Tuesday of week 20 of the year, I
God's constant invitation Matthew 19:23-30 We now turn our attention to Gideon on how he would bring Israel to triumph against Midian. He would have the same struggle as Moses; but God would always be consistent. One thing for sure: God always communicates with His people. Secondly, he sends messengers to free His people. Third, the messengers are somehow prepared to receive His call: they are upright persons. But the main fact still remains: God leads his people. The Gospel verifies the dynamics of God's invitation and man's response. Man's response is always that of questioning or being skeptical; but not at the expense of losing one's faith. It is this intimate dialogue between God and man - God's consistent and faithful invitation and man's maturing response - makes salvation possible. Make no doubt about it - when God calls us, it's always on the road to salvation. Accept the invitation.
