Clergy Corner

Question of the Week:

In what aspect of my life do I need to accept God’s wisdom and the Spirit’s guidance and change my behavior?

God is mighty in power, Ben Sira asserts, but we are rather powerful as well, for we have the power to choose whether to obey or disobey God, to sin or not. Whether we are conscious of it or not, making the choice to sin is saying that our wisdom and judgment are better than God’s. It is saying that allowing our anger toward someone to fester and flame is preferable to reconciling. It is saying that the pleasure we get

from fooling around with someone who is not our spouse is greater than honoring our marriage commitment. It is choosing to do what is objectively unwise but subjectively attractive. Acknowledging that God is wiser than us leads us to use our power to choose good over evil and life over death.
