What shall we do?

Read

¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? ¹¹ He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. ¹² Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

Reflect

When people ask John, 'What shall we do?', his answers are practical: share coats and food, take no more than is fair, harm no one, and be content. Preparing for God reaches into ordinary dealings.

Pray

Lord, show me one practical way to prepare for you today. Make me generous, honest, and content. Amen.
