Over the years of muddling through mundane life, we realise that when we call on God to reveal the power of God's promises in new ways, it is really up to us to look for those signs and wonders in new ways. But most of the time, we stumble around until we are hit over the head with them. We learn from our experiences that the reward we need to seek for our faithfulness to God is not so much deliverance from our enemies, but deliverance from the way we make enemies of other people.

Despite our human errors, God rescues us from ourselves and rewards us with new signs and wonders of God's leadership if we are open to them. God is so compassionate and kind, forgiving the sins of our loss of hope. It is this light of God's mercy that we must accept and praise. Jesus teaches us that the best way we can live in the light and life of God's kindness towards us is to not ask for recognition and glory for our faith, but to demonstrate it by assuming a humble position in our relationships with others, even our enemies.
