The 1st reading today from 1 Samuel 8:4-7,10-22 tells the
story of how the Israelites were asking Samuel to give them a King to rule over
them. They want to be like any other nations who have a central figure
especially in times of war. Samuel pointed to them what the King can do for
them and they insisted still to have one. Samuel was hesitant because for them
there was no other King but God, but God himself said to grant what they asked
for.
Who is the ruler of our life? Is it ourselves? Is it our wants and
desires? Is it our feelings and emotions? If Christ, who is the source of all
that is good, is the ruler of our life then no wants and desires can surpass
what we can receive and no feelings and emotions can surpass what joy and fulfillment
we can experience.
Lord Jesus, be the ruler of our life. Amen.
