Matthew 11:10
Regardless of whatever else may be said about John, he fulfills a major prophecy of Scripture. This prophecy, concerning the ‘messenger in the wilderness’ is found in Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3. It is actually quite interesting that we have here a direct interpretation of prophecy. This was somewhat rare. God usually allowed the Jews to ‘figure it out,’ but here Jesus makes it abundantly clear. This is all the more reason to accept the words of John concerning Jesus, the Messiah.
Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 3:1-Titus 3:15

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for this and every day which You give us so freely. We don’t have to wake up and ask for a day of breath and health, and yet You often give us that. We don’t have to ask You to keep us from calamities, though we should. Either way, You care for us. It is amazing to think about all of the things that You do for us because of Your love that we would never think to ask for. Can we ever know just how kind You are? Oh Father, Your greatness overwhelms us! It is the apex of our thought, the theme of our song, and the anthem of our cause. We could never find a better use of our time and talent than to know You better. Thank You for Your Son, the Lord Jesus. He is such a comfort to us! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
