#SV – Questioning God

Ikenna Paschal Okpaleke

Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4How long, O LORD?  I cry for help but you do not listen! I cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not intervene. Why do you let me see ruin; why must I look at misery? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and clamorous discord. Then the LORD answered me and said: Write down the vision clearly upon the tablets, so that one can read it readily. For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; if it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late. The rash one has no integrity; but the just one, because of his … Continue reading #SV – Questioning God

#SV – Take, and Stay Off!

Ikenna Paschal Okpaleke

Sir 3:17-18, 20, 28-29 My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God. What is too sublime for you, seek not, into things beyond your strength search not. The mind of a sage appreciates proverbs, and an attentive ear is the joy of the wise. Water quenches a flaming fire, and alms atone for sins. Lk 14:1, 7-14On a sabbath Jesus went to dineat the home of one of the leading Pharisees,and the people there were observing him carefully. He told a parable to those … Continue reading #SV – Take, and Stay Off!
