Wisdom 13:1-9
Psalm 19:2-3, 4-5AB
Luke 17:26-37
Summary
The Lord is evident in all creation. Some worship the
effects of His love
:
the sun, the rain, the green grass, Mammon,
rather than worship Him, the Creator of all the beauty around us
.
He
who is Love.
Reflection
I have wondered that Man derives joy from his surroundings. As hu-
mans we seem to universally appreciate the beauty of Nature, the
sunsets, the blue sky,
the
stormy weather,
the
snow fields. In litera-
ture going back
millennia,
we read descriptions of our ancestors rev-
elling in the wonders of the natural world. Looking back to Egypt
,
for
example, humans
worshipped the
Sun. In Wisdom
we are reminded
we should not be
misled to believe
His works are in-
dependent gods
to be worshipped,
they are products
of God's love for
us
.
T
hey are
what he gave us
