“For until this present time you are not come to rest, and to the possession, which the Lord your God will give you.”
Reflection for Today
Pause with Deuteronomy 12:9. Hear these words again: “For until this present time you are not come to rest, and to the possession, which the Lord your God will give you.”
Deuteronomy is part of the long story of salvation. Catholics receive it as inspired Scripture, a word that prepares the heart for Christ and still nourishes the Church. Read in Catholic faith, this is not a decorative sentence for social media. It is a living word meant to convert, console, and send us back into ordinary life with a quieter heart.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Deuteronomy 12:9 remain. Pray a decade of the Rosary with this verse in mind. Ask Mary to teach you how to keep God's word and ponder it, as she did.
Prayer
Come, Holy Spirit. Open the Scriptures to me as You opened them to the apostles. In Deuteronomy 12:9 I hear, “For until this present time you are not come to rest, and to the possession, which…” Give me understanding, give me desire, and give me the grace to obey with joy. Amen.
