Do you not remember: God's Regular reminders for our life?

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Ordinary Season  : 6th Week: Tuesday*

*Gospel : Mk 8:14-21*

*First Reading : Jas 1:12-18*

*Do you not remember: God's Regular reminders for our life?*

*1) Jesus reminds them great Things*

The Gospel of the day has a beautiful as well as very serious question, that is about God's great things in our life 

Jesus reminds them many things 

*when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?” They answered him, “Twelve.” When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?” They answered him, “Seven.”*

Jesus reminds them two great things and the benefits of these two things and also the reaction of the people towards the great things 

*2) The Whole Bible is the God's reminder to us*

All the great and wonderful things of God are recorded in the Bible 

Bible is the Record of great and wonderful things, of God, for the sake of the human beings 

While reading the Holy Bible God reminds us His great things to us 

*3) Everyday God reminds the great Things for us*

Everyday we read the bible  and we reflect about it 

This is nothing but God is reminding us the great things for us 

God is very keen in reminding his great things for us 

*4) What is my response?*

In the Gospel we see that, when Jesus reminded them great things to his followers, they really remembered the great things and their involvement in the great things 

As Jesus reminds the great things to me, what is my response? 

Do I feel that these great things which are reminded to me everyday, happen in my life? 

Do I involve myself in these great things to experience God in my life? 

Am I indifferent to his reminders? 

*5) The need of reminders*

First of all our memory is very short 

We tend to forget many things, especially the God's great things 

So we need the regular reminders, to understand and to experience these great things in our life 

Regular reminders will definitely help us in knowing the great wonders of the Lord in our Life 

Gospel is the regular reminder of God's great things for our life 

Am I ready to use these reminders in my life??

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
