Daily Reflections, 24 June 2023, The Birth of John the Baptist.

God has a plan for us

Just as God chose Israel to reveal his splendor to other nations, so he did the same for David as a king, to be the ancestor through whom Jesus was to come, so was John Baptist chosen to be the forerunner of Jesus. He also has a plan for each of us.

Everyone born is designed to fulfil God's purpose for their lives. Let us ask ourselves: what is God's purpose in my life? God has a time in fulfilling his plan. Delay is never denial. Things happen at God's own time and not at our own time.

His name is John, which means God is gracious.

May God always be gracious to us!

St. John the Baptist, pray for us!
