January 18, 2024 2nd week OT

ByCraftingintx

OT means ordinary time. Today’s first reading shows us Saul’s jealousy of David saying that the only thing left is for David to become king so he wants to kill David. There are so many people driven by jealousy. I’m not jealous of anyone, that is not in my nature. I hope to focus on my gifts and try to give back to man and God. In the psalm, it says”that I may walk before God in the light of the living” I want to be the light! Out of the darkness and into the light! The gospel says that the crowds of people who want to be healed by Jesus are overwhelming to the point that they might crush Jesus. Also, demons call out/recognize the Son of God. That must have been intense! I probably would have avoided that scene!
