Entertainment - Week 2: Friday

1 Kings 19: 9-12

Behold, the word of the Lord came to him and said to him, “Elijah, what are you doing here?” And Elijah said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord Almighty since the children of Israel have forsaken You. They tore down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they seek to take my life.” Then He replied, “Go out tomorrow and stand on the mountain before the Lord; and behold, the Lord will pass by, and before the Lord, a great and powerful wind will be rending the mountains and shattering the rocks; but the Lord will not be in the wind. After the wind, an earthquake, but the Lord will not be in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there will be a fire, but the Lord will not be in the fire. After the fire, there will be a sound of a gentle breeze, and the Lord will be there.”

Commentary

St. Augustine

No Christian could say that he is without troubles…Why? For as long as we are still in the body, we are in a journey toward God. However good things are, we are still away from our home. No one could love travel and love his home at the same time. For whoever loves his home, his journey would seem tough and troublesome. Here we labor and grieve; but there, we shall find comfort with no limit, and love with no anxiety.
