Jeremiah
gives word to the Lord God's lament over His people's stubborn refusal
to hear the wisdom being made available to them by those on whom His
Spirit rests. In the other passage, Luke shows Jesus making plain
both the Source of his wisdom and that this Source he serves has desires
here and now, about which we must choose.
These messages
may call us to examine anew in this season what of wisdom and the
Holy Spirit is around us that we do need to open to more fully.
Am I entrenched in a habit whose routine deafens me to some persistent
whisper about a better path? Will I admit the thought, and choose?
Is there someone in my life, even 'day after day,' whose way is
offering me insight on behalf of love, if I will listen? How, then,
do I choose to answer?
