Where’s the Good?
Oftentimes, what’s good for us and what we want are at odds.
We know eating right and exercising is good for us — but lounging on the couch with a bag of chips sounds pretty enticing. We know hard work is noble — but YouTube has a way of eating the afternoon. We know prayer is good for us — but so does another ten minutes of sleep.
What’s good for us loses. Not to something bad, necessarily. Just to something less good.
If we want to grow in our faith, we have to learn to recognize the good in front of us. And then we have to cultivate the habit of actually acting on it.
Once isn’t enough. It has to be habitual. That is virtue.
So today — where’s the good?
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, help us to see as You see, to see the good, and to act on it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Keep fighting the good fight. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
