YOU WOULDN’T DANCE

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “This generation is like children who cry, ‘We played pipes for you and you wouldn’t dance.” (Luke 7:31-35)

Reflection. Jesus notices everything going on and he sees children playing their game and other children not joining in. It is an image of God made visible in the flesh (1Timolthy 3:14-16) but people taking no notice. It is an image of the poorest always being those most vulnerable and neglected. There is no piped water for the poorest in Lusaka but for those with money there is no problem.

Prayer. Lord, you urge us to ‘be awake.’ Help us to be attentive to the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable.  Amen.
