Evening: Psalm 9, 15; Matthew 11:16-24
I
wonder if Jesus is surprised by people’s childish behavior? He asks:
“To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting
in the market place and calling to one another …” A modern version of
this story might include the familiar taunt, “Na na na na na!” What do
you think, has our generation progressed much beyond this kind of
childishness? Anthropologist Bill Plotkin says that 50% of North
American adults never will mature beyond adolescence. But Jesus said:
“Wisdom is proven by wise actions.” I don’t always show such mature
wisdom, but I pray for it.
