I'VE LEARNED-The less time I have to work with the more I get done-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Is it okay to question God's action or inactions?

2-Why do so many people find it hard to pray?

3-Do Christians still need a High Priest to go to God?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    John 1:19-23

 ¹⁹ Here is the truth John^[a] told when the leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"

 ²⁰ John spoke freely and did not refuse to answer. He said, "I am not the Christ."

 ²¹ So they asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?"^[b]

   He answered, "No, I am not."

   "Are you the Prophet?"^[c] they asked.

   He answered, "No."

 ²² Then they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to tell those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

 ²³ John told them in the words of the prophet Isaiah:
    "I am the voice of one
       Calling out in the desert:
    'Make the road straight for the Lord.' " — Isaiah 40:3

Footnotes:

1. John 1:19 John John the Baptist, who preached to people about Christ's coming (Matthew 3, Luke 3).
2. John 1:21 Elijah A prophet who spoke for God. He lived hundreds of years before Christ and was expected to return before Christ (Malachi 4:5–6).
3. John 1:21 Prophet They probably meant the prophet that God told Moses he would send (Deuteronomy 18:15–19).

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, You who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion until You call me heavenward or until the day of Christ’s return. May I willingly submit and quickly obey Your voice so that I will bear much spiritual fruit. I pray that the Fruit of the Spirit will characterize my life as I faithfully yield to the work of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
