Sometimes we can get so accustomed to our daily routines that we are unaware of things that are happening right under our noses. Jesus warns against this danger in today's gospel passage. He uses the example of some of the figures from our past to make his point.
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man; they were eating an drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all (Lk 17:26-27). This happened because many people refused to pay any heed to the warnings that Noah had heard. The call for repentance fell on deaf ears.
These words are a gentle reminder to us today that we should always be attentive. Our God wants nothing but our good, and He is always willing to help us simply because he loves us so deeply. All He asks is that we listen to Him. It's not difficult to spend a few moments each day in prayer, but we must be intentional about setting aside time to be present to God. That's all He asks.
Have a great day.
