“And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed.”
Reflection for Today
Let 1 Kings 14:22 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed.”
1 Kings 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 1 Kings 14:22 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
Father of mercies, I bring You this day and this verse from 1 Kings 14:22. As I listen to “And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their…,” heal what is anxious in me, correct what is proud, and strengthen what is willing to love. Amen.
