This reading gives such a wonderful sense of God’s care and generosity for the earth, and for us who live on it and with it. Because of his care and generosity, there is a palpable abundance and health of growth along with an uncontainable joy expressed in response – the joy of knowing and feeling and experiencing his care.
“The river of God is full of water; you provide their grain”. There’s nothing stingy about God at all.
I remember watching the sun come up one morning while on retreat. It looked as though it was coming up out of the sea itself. It was a deep reddy/orange colour that illuminated the sky above it, and caused the sea to shimmer in front. A most beautiful sight to watch first thing in the morning.
How many times has it done that? How many times has it been seen? How many times has God been thanked for his Generosity in feeding the world with the sun and the rain? And how many times have people worshipped the creation rather than the Creator?
But still it pleases him to care for us.
Thank you Father…..
