August 31, 2026 - Thank God He’s in Control

Regium Christi Daily Meditations, helping you encounter Christ in your daily life.

Thank God he's in control.

A meditation for Monday of the 22nd week in Ordinary Time.

From the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 4.

Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom into the synagogue on the Sabbath day.

He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah.

He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written, Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down.

and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him.

He said to them, Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.

And all spoke highly of him, and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.

They also asked, Is this not the son of Joseph? He said to them, Surely you will quote me this proverb, Physician, cure yourself, and say, Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.

And he said, Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet.

Yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.

When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury.

They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong.

But he passed through the midst of them and went away.
