Reflections On The Scripture: In life, we often shroud ourselves in the busy aspects of our existence, be it marriage, work pressure, or other commitments; we take them as excuses to evade the divine call. This verse, Luke 14:20, poignantly expresses this human tendency. The 'call' may take various forms- a prompting towards kindness, love, or grace. It's a divine invitation to live a life centered upon holy virtues. The individual in the verse prioritizes his marital responsibilities over the call, designating his inability to 'come'. This signifies our quickness to put worldly duties above spiritual ones. Our life, brimming with commitments, should not impede our spiritual journey. We should answer the divine call with an eager heart, setting aside our scheduled routines. A harmonious balance between our worldly roles and spiritual responsibilities is crucial to truly savor the beauty of a fulfilling life.
