THIS WEEK'S BULLETIN NEWS:

                                                                                       Stop putting God in a Box

In our first reading from the book of Numbers, we are told that a young man rushed to Moses to complain about Eldad and Medad prophesying since they were not among the seventy elders that he knew received the Spirit. He requested Moses to stop them. Their prophesying did not meet his estimation of God. He had God confined to his human expectation. In the Gospel, a similar thing occurs with John. For John, he understood they were the only ones who were blessed by God. He could not imagine others doing what he felt only the Apostles could do.

​

Both the young man in the first reading and John in our Gospel had mentally limited the power of God. They thought God had to act according to their mental limitation of Him before he will be God. In order words, they put God in a mental box.

​

Reflect on the ways we too are like the young man and John. Those times that we expect God to act only in a particular way. The many times we complain God did not answer our prayers, merely because He did not act according to our expectations. Reflect on the times you felt prayer and striving for perfection were not worth it because others who seemingly are without prayer or endeavors to grow in Holiness appear to have every good thing and many blessings. Imagine the situation of the person who did not apply themself to studies as much as you did and never even prayed for success like you did, yet he did better in the exams. You certainly expected God to bless you more. The list of failed expectations from God is long. Add yours to these.

​

Let us recall Isaiah 55:8-9 here; “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways, My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts, than your thoughts’. God is bigger than our mental boxes. We must stop limiting God to solely our Human expectations, and let Him be the God that He is. Unlimited, not bound by time, space or our human expectations of Him.

"Do have a wonderful week with JESUS”.

                                                                                     Deja de poner a Dios en una caja

​

En nuestra primera lectura del libro de Números, se nos dice que un joven corrió a ver a Moisés para quejarse de que Eldad y Medad profetizaban, ya que no estaban entre los setenta ancianos que sabía que habían recibido el Espíritu. Le pidió a Moisés que los detuviera. El hecho de que profetizaran no se correspondía con su estimación de Dios. Tenía a Dios confinado a sus expectativas humanas. En el Evangelio ocurre algo similar con Juan. Para Juan, entendió que eran los únicos bendecidos por Dios. No podía imaginar a otros haciendo lo que él sentía que solo los Apóstoles podían hacer.

Tanto el joven de la primera lectura como Juan en nuestro Evangelio habían limitado mentalmente el poder de Dios. Pensaron que Dios tenía que actuar de acuerdo con la limitación mental que tenían de Él antes de que él fuera Dios. En otras palabras, pusieron a Dios en una caja mental.

​

Reflexione sobre la forma en que nosotros también somos como el joven y John. Aquellos momentos en los que esperamos que Dios actúe solo de una manera particular. Las muchas veces que nos quejamos, Dios no respondió nuestras oraciones, simplemente porque no actuó de acuerdo con nuestras expectativas. Reflexione sobre las veces que sintió que la oración y el esfuerzo por la perfección no valieron la pena porque otros que aparentemente no tienen oración o se esfuerzan por crecer en santidad parecen tener todo lo bueno y muchas bendiciones. Imagínese la situación de la persona que no se dedicó a los estudios tanto como usted y que nunca rezó por el éxito como usted, pero le fue mejor en los exámenes. Ciertamente esperabas que Dios te bendijera más. La lista de expectativas fallidas de Dios es larga. Agregue el suyo a estos.

​

Recordemos Isaías 55: 8-9 aquí; “Porque mis pensamientos no son vuestros pensamientos, ni vuestros caminos, mis caminos, dice el Señor. Porque como los cielos son más altos que la tierra, así mis caminos son más altos que los de ustedes, y mis pensamientos que los de ustedes. Dios es más grande que nuestras cajas mentales. Debemos dejar de limitar a Dios únicamente a nuestras expectativas humanas y dejar que Él sea el Dios que es. Ilimitado, no limitado por el tiempo, el espacio o nuestras expectativas humanas de Él.

"Que tengas una maravillosa semana con JESÚS".
