Are We Docile or Stubborn with God? [podcast 026]

by Fr. Rick Thomas, S.J.

“Do not be like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
whose temper must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not stay near you.”
Psalm 32:9

Guest post from the Father Rick Thomas archives

God can either give us advice or put a bit in our mouths like a mule. It is our decision.

For example, the Lord gives us advice in Sirach 38 on what to do when we are sick.

Scriptures

Psalm 32:8-9
Luke 2:19
Sirach 38:9-12
