Thought for Monday September 4

The Lord comes to judge the earth.
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
let the sea and what fills it resound;
let the plains be joyful and all that is in them!
Then shall all the trees of the forest exult.
The Lord comes to judge the earth.

 

Luke 4: 16 – 30  "Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing." And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.  They also asked, "Is this not the son of Joseph?"  He said to them, "Surely you will quote me this proverb, 'Physician, cure yourself,' and say, 'Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.'" And he said,  "Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place.”

Does Jesus seem to be picking a fight here?  Do people sometimes expect something from me that I am not prepared to give?

Action:  Enjoy Labor Day.
