SINO ANG DIYOS MO?… Reflection for August 21, 2005
We all have "idols" in life! We idolized our parents, our big bros and sis, our uncle and aunts, our friends, our classmates… and why not… movie stars??? (yukks! Ang baduy mo father!) hehehe… Is it bad to have idols? I don’t think so… but worship of idols… YES! In fact that is what we commonly refer to as "idolatria" (in Greek) or "idolatry" (latria means worship). We fall into forms of idolatry when we try to substitute God with "idols". When the Creator is substituted with created things. When we are blinded with material possessions ang don’t recognized anymore the primacy of God in our life. Anung klaseng Diyos mayro’n ka sa buhay mo? Sino ang Diyos mo? Baka naman kayamanan, pera, kasarapan sa buhay, sexual pleasure, fame, etc…etc… The question the Lord posted to Peter is also the same question being asked to us. "Who do people say that I am? Who am I for you?" Sino nga ba ang kinikilala kong Diyos sa buhay ko? Baka naman pang-Linggo lang siyang Diyos natin…? Mula lunes hanggang sabado iba ang diyos nating kinikilala… pag-isipan mo!
