“Yea your father hath also overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me.”
Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is Genesis 31:7: “Yea your father hath also overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me.”
Genesis 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 Genesis 31:7 remain. Before the day runs away, sit with this verse for two quiet minutes. Say it slowly. Notice which word stays warm in the heart, and carry that word into one conversation.
Prayer
Come, Holy Spirit. Open the Scriptures to me as You opened them to the apostles. In Genesis 31:7 I hear, “Yea your father hath also overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and…” Give me understanding, give me desire, and give me the grace to obey with joy. Amen.
