Daily Bible Reflections - November 29,2012

He rises from the ashes
 
“When these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your salvation is near.” – Luke 21:28
 
Stephen had the Midas touch. At 40, every business he opened made him richer many times over. His obsession was to be a multimillionaire. He had a staff of thousands — mostly underpaid. He bribed his way so as not to pay the right taxes. He diluted his products so he could earn more.
On the eve of his 45th birthday, Stephen felt his chest constrict. With glazed eyes, he was rushed to the hospital. But to the amazement of doctors, Stephen recovered from a massive heart attack.
After two months of rest and recovery, Stephen went to office with a to-do list. He ordered his accountant to increase all his employees’ salaries by 30 percent across the board. He signed a memo giving mid-year bonuses and 13th month pays from that day onwards. He set his business aright.
It turned out that while Stephen was on the brink of death, his life flashed before him. At the same time, he saw a great fire consuming his body with people thrashing him to death.
Thank God he saw that he was about to be destroyed. Stephen rose above his evil ways and was saved. Chelle Crisanto (ellehcmaria@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:
“What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?” (Matthew 16:26)
 
Lord, I am nothing before You. In You I shall live. With You I shall prosper. Lead me, Lord, that others may see You in everything I do.
 
Servant of God John of Montecorvino, pray for us
