Daniel 2:31-45
Daniel 3:57-61
Luke 21:5-11
LIVE BY FAITH…
When the blind lead the blind, danger lies ahead, similarly, false prophecy is deceptive and perilous. Jesus warned His disciples about false prophets, deception, and disasters, urging them to be ready for God’s judgment. Despite God’s works for Israel, they remained unfruitful, focused on rituals and false ideas instead of faith. God’s kingdom, based on truth, love, and justice, surpasses earthly powers. Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar emphasizes that prophecy comes from the Most High.
Today’s readings remind us to focus on God, live by faith, and do good works that glorify Him. Scripture also shows that the future glory of the Temple, and our own sanctity as Temples of the Holy Spirit, depend on God’s presence. Let us continue to proclaim our faith through words and actions and may these bear fruit in our lives. Amen.
