“Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation. ”
Reflection for Today
Pause with Exodus 17:16. Hear these words again: “Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.”
The Catholic way of reading is never solitary for long. We read with the Church, with the saints, and with the poor Christ still loves. Exodus 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.
As you hold this verse, do not force a dramatic feeling. Ask only for faithfulness. If the verse consoles you, do not rush past the comfort. Gratitude is also a form of obedience.
Prayer
Lord God, thank You for speaking through Exodus 17:16. You said, “Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against…” I do not want to rush past these words. Quiet my mind, warm my heart, and help me live what I have heard with faith, hope, and charity. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
