Daily Meditation: Critical Events Can Reveal Divine Purpose

Tuesday June 18, 2013    Critical Events Can Reveal Divine Purpose   Life is God's initiative and can end or change suddenly, unexpectedly, and unpredictably. When we humans are ready to give up hope and resign ourselves to inevitability, God intervenes and reveals completely new beginnings. The resurrection of Jesus is God's sign breaking through every form of human fatalism and despair. In every critical event, there is an opportunity for God to act creatively and reveal a deeper truth than what we see on the surface of things. God also can turn around critical incidents and seemingly hopeless situations in our lives and reveal light in darkness.     Comment on this Daily Meditation.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community.
