Evening: Psalm 51; Matthew 3:1-12
Prophecy is misunderstood – people think it’s predicting the future. Prophecy may refer to the future – as in, “If this continues, that is going to happen.” Yet prophecy is not about
the future, it’s about the here and now. Prophets speak truthfully
about what is. That can be costly and lead to their suffering or even
death. For when you know something to be true, you will not betray it
to save your life. Paul encourages his hearers, “Hold fast to what you
have attained.” In other words: be faithful to what you know is true.
