Trust in God's providence

Today's scripture helps us examine our own lives and the trust we place in the providence and guidance of God. The disciples are sent in a very troublesome environment ; they will be among wolves, but they must trust in God's providence, which calls for their prudence.

In the midst of doubts, God reassures Jacob with his word: "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there." God only invited Jacob to trust then his presence is secured for them. "I will go down with you and come up with you"

May we too today, learn to surrender our fears, doubts, and anxieties, and embark on the journey with unshakable faith, knowing that our heavenly Father will lead us, protect us, and provide for us in every circumstance through Christ our Lord. Amen.
