In 70 A.D., the Temple upon which they were commenting was destroyed. After prophesying this, Jesus then goes on to warn the disciples that there will be many confusions that will come. There will be false prophets, wars and insurrections, powerful earthquakes, famines, plagues, \u201cand awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.\u201d Why does Jesus prophesy all of these things?<\/p>\n<p>The answer was simple. He was not trying to scare them. He was not simply trying to satisfy their curiosity. Instead, He was warning them and preparing us all so that we do not become misled or terrified when they come. He says, \u201cSee that you not be deceived\u201d and \u201cdo not be terrified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the old saying goes, \u201cLife is not a bowl of cherries.\u201d While we live in this fallen world, chaos, confusion, deception, abuse, scandal, conflict and the like will be all around us. And when we do come face-to-face with any such difficulty, there is a temptation to fear, anger and despair. Be it family conflicts, civil unrest or even divisions within the Church itself, God wants us to remain at peace and to trust Him always.<\/p>\n<p>Take Jesus\u2019 own life as an example. He was arrested, falsely accused, sentenced to death and crucified. And through it all, He remained at peace, knowing that His suffering would become the very source of new life. God can use all things for good for those who love and serve Him.<\/p>\n<p>Reflect, today, upon the undeniable fact that your life will involve difficulty. Sometimes that difficulty is self-imposed as a result of your sin, and sometimes it is unjustly imposed on account of the sin of another. Truth be told, we should only be concerned about our own sin. If other challenges come your way that are out of your control, then use those challenges as opportunities to trust. Entrust all things to God, every suffering, every persecution, every tragedy, every struggle, everything. If God the Father could bring about the greatest good ever known through the brutal murder of His own divine Son, then He can certainly do the same with all that you offer to Him in trust. Trust at all times and in all circumstances, and our all-powerful Lord will bring good from everything.<\/p>\n<p>My most powerful Lord, You warned us of the many hardships that would come our way before Your glorious return. You did so to help prepare us and to strengthen us in those moments of testing. Please give me the grace I need to always trust in You and to surrender over to You every cross I carry. I do believe, dear Lord, that You can bring good from everything, even those things that are most difficult in life. Jesus, I trust in You.<br \/>\n_______________________________________________<br \/>\nFor more videos and reflections visit:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"G1skOzFMg8\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/mycatholic.life\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A journey of personal conversion!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;A journey of personal conversion!&#8221; &#8212; My Catholic Life!\" src=\"https:\/\/mycatholic.life\/embed\/#?secret=G1skOzFMg8\" data-secret=\"G1skOzFMg8\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>CHAPTERS:<br \/>\n0:00 Beginning<br \/>\n0:17 Scripture Quote<br \/>\n0:36 Daily Reflection<br \/>\n2:46 Final Meditation<br \/>\n3:56 Closing Prayer<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to My Catholic Life!: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/MyCatholicLifeJMJ?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>Try Our Brand New App: https:\/\/mycatholic.life\/apps<br \/>\n_______________________________________________<br \/>\nOur Social Media:<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/facebook.com\/catholic.daily.reflections<br \/>\nTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/CathDailyRef<br \/>\nPinterest: https:\/\/pinterest.com\/mycatholic<br \/>\nTumblr: https:\/\/catholicdailyreflections.tumblr.com<br \/>\nReddit: https:\/\/reddit.com\/user\/Catholic_Daily<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/instagram.com\/catholicdailyreflections<br \/>\nMeWe: https:\/\/mewe.com\/p\/catholicdailyreflections<br \/>\nGab: https:\/\/gab.com\/CatholicDailyReflections<br \/>\n________________________________________________<br \/>\n#Catholic #Gospel #Reflection<br \/>\nImage: https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Jan_van_Orley_-_Jesus_teaches_in_the_Temple.jpg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":342662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[5822,290423,157018,220121,19524,132216,290419,209,26807,290420,633,290422,185560,158674,4136,86055,248578,35236,40818,8314,188995,290421,15488,76392,7906,1345,116888],"class_list":{"0":"post-342661","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japanese-anime","8":"tag-all","9":"tag-all-you-need-to-know","10":"tag-bible","11":"tag-catholic","12":"tag-church","13":"tag-daily","14":"tag-devotional","15":"tag-god","16":"tag-gospel","17":"tag-homily","18":"tag-life","19":"tag-luke-215-6","20":"tag-mass","21":"tag-meditation","22":"tag-my","23":"tag-peace","24":"tag-prayer","25":"tag-quote","26":"tag-re-main","27":"tag-reflection","28":"tag-remain","29":"tag-scripture","30":"tag-study","31":"tag-things","32":"tag-today","33":"tag-video","34":"tag-word"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
