The first reading is about how Elijah is so obedient on the Lord's command. We should realize that we are creations of the Lord and it is our responsibility to obey his command. For it is for our own good because the Lord knows what's best for us eventhough most of the time we do not realize it.
The second reading is about liberty to be balanced with the presence of spirit in our life so that we will not be self-indulgence. "Balance" is the keyword for me in this reading. Remember, God is mightier than us human so don't think that our own power, technology is even a match to God's power. Be moderate, practice peace in life. To all the leader in this world, remember, you are just a human being who cannot escape mortal death. Leaders of the nations are the one need to promote peace.
Gospel for today are telling us about "no hesitation" in following God. We should not take the meaning too straight forward. God didn't mean for us to abandon our families and friends. It's just that, do not hesitate in believing in God and do not let negative influence about God eventhough from our own families and friends to give from affecting you.
