Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

Life is not all fun and games. To the contrary, each of us must navigate through the various trials and tribulations of life. But how can we best do that? How can God use even our own suffering to draw us closer to him so that we have the power to face our trials with real hope? This stuff is certainly not for the faint of heart but it is something we must grapple with if we do not wish to fall into utter hopelessness and despair. Check out what Fr. Maney has to say about this and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Exodus 16.2-15; Psalm 105.1-6, 37-45; Philippians 1.21-30; Matthew 20.1-16.
