Today’s reading: Luke 7:11-35

'But the Pharisees and the experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)' - Luke 7:30

I found this little side note by Luke to be really interesting.

How was not being baptized by John rejecting God's purpose for them? It was showing that they didn't feel like they had anything to repent/turn from. They believed it was the tax collectors and sinners that needed to return. They also may have been deterred from being baptized by John because he called them a bunch of snakes? :)

In this uncertain time, it is even more important for us to get up and slip into positive routines.

Get ready.
Get into the Scriptures.
Spend time in prayer.
Set other personal goals you haven't had time for in the past.
Identify any sin in your life that you have been refusing to turn from. This is not a time to reject God's purpose for us. He desires for us to return to him each day so that we can live underneath his protective shelter.
