"Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; from the cloud came a voice, 'This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.'" (Mark 9:7)
Reflection: Sometimes, when our lives get cloudy, we think that God is either taking the day off or upset with us for some human condition. Nope. His awesome power might seem scary and threatening (like a thunderstorm). But changes in climate can reveal God's care and comfort (especially during the dog-days of hot August).
More important than the transitory clouds are the eternal words of the Father: "despite all the changes, listen to my Beloved." The Divine Word (Jesus) is ever present and His voice ever comforting.
Next time you are overshadowed by fear, Listen!
