Daily Readings: Isaiah 11:1-9; Micah 4:8-13; Luke 7:31-35
“To what then will 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 wailed, 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, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Nevertheless, wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
If I’m determined to find fault, I’ll find it. If I’m looking to start an argument, I’ll find a way.
If I’m looking for the good in someone, I’ll find it. If I’m looking to connect, I’ll find a way.
When I find Jesus, am I looking to start an argument or looking to connect? Either way, I’ll find it.
Love that wisdom in about 50 words–we find what we’re looking for. Yup.
Which makes me wonder why we look for things that deplete rather than enhance…thanks, David!
