Insensitivity to God

Matthew 11:16-19 

In the first reading, God made a warning, "If only you had been alert to my commandments,
your happiness would have been like a river, your integrity like the waves of the sea."

In the gospel, Jesus made a similar warning for those who are not sensitive to God's commands, “We played the pipes for you, and you wouldn’t dance; we sang dirges, and you wouldn’t be mourners.”

When do we become insensitive to God's voice?  When do we start playing our songs?  When did we stop dancing to God's tunes?

There are many moments we stop being sensitive to God:

1. when we are lured by money, not by poverty.  - when our primary preoccupation in this word money, not values.
2.  when we are blinded by power, not be service. - when we desire to be above all others, and not humble.
3.  when pride overwhelms us, not God. - when we become our own gods.

Then we contribute to the destruction of this world.

May we not be insensitive to God's voice and God's commands.
