Prophets fascinate me, but still I wonder, if I was alive nearly 3000 years ago, what I would have thought of Isaiah the prophet? Or if I was alive about 2000 years ago, I wonder what I would have thought of Jesus and his friends. And that challenges me to consider how I think of and treat holy people living right now.
I have to be careful in my own attitude so I don't get cynical toward believers. Sound odd coming from someone who claims to believe? Maybe, but it's true. I can look down on others who either worship differently or who understand things differently, because I can be so sure of my own opinions! Like yesterday's verse, this is when I rely on my own "wisdom" rather than turning to God's wisdom in evaluating things. Jesus once said to his disciples, "He who is not against us is for us. (Mark 9:40 NIV) That is something worth considering.
Today, I will look for all the different ways the Holy Spirit makes appearances in those around me!
