What are you looking for?

“What are you looking for?”

The question. Directed to two disciples of John. Earlier, they hear their teacher say, “Look, the Lamb of God!” as Jesus walks by. And they take off after Him.

Now they’re trailing behind on the path.

Jesus turns. And asks.

Broken record

Broken record pleading. Same old insecurity. Inadequacy. 

Pride.

Doing a number on my thinking.

Fiery-dart target practice, feels like, somedays.

Age-old questions on repeat.

Famine

Famine. It’s coming. 

An odd theme to consider in the middle of Thanksgiving season. But there it is. In my daily Bible reading.

Amos the herdsman delivers this word of the Lord. To a people nonchalant. Complacent. And ultimately resistant. 

Unwilling to repent. 

And this is no scarcity of grain in lean years. Nothing like the famine of Joseph’s day.
