Today's reading: Matthew 3-4 (note the two chapters)
One word that grabs me today is prevented: "John would have prevented him..." (v. 14). John has every good intention in mind when he seeks to stop Jesus from being baptized. And in doing so, he's flying in the face of God's good purposes. When have I sought to prevent God from His work—even if that work seemed counterintuitive?
