Today’s reading is Luke 7:31-50
“”To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’ For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by all her children.””

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “Yet wisdom is justified by all her children.” If I watch the news I’m constantly surprised that certain leaders will say that “up is down” or “black is white” and the followers will blindly follow against common sense to enrich themselves in this world. I’m encouraged that this is not new and occurred in Jesus’s day. Jesus knew that the world would find fault with the truth of John and Him, but would expect special treatment if they “played the flute for you”. We can be encourage that our audience is Jesus. We can spend time with Him and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to do His purpose as opposed to the world’s. Please pray that we and our friends seek truth today and be about God’s purpose. Please pray for Michelle, Nichole, Torrie and Annie.
