We learned one of the most important lessons in all of the
Bible in our first reading—never sleep under birds!
Tobit
is a fun read and if you have never read it, please do. It is short enough to read in one
sitting. Tobit is a story that
centers on two facts. First, God’s
providence directs and supports lives.
Today Tobit became blind, yet this is for God’s glory as we will
continue to see. Similarly, we
will soon hear of a woman named Sarah whose seven husbands were killed by a
demon. God sends His angel Raphael
to grant healing in both cases.
Second,
we are encouraged to love God above all else and our neighbor as
ourselves. As we continue reading
from Tobit, notice how Tobit exemplifies loving God and neighbor.
God’s
providence and our response to God and each other out of love is what Tobit is
based. May we live our lives today
with each.
