Luke 3:10-14 -- On Asking "What Shall We Do?"

"And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages."
Luke 3:10-14


I like that Christ gave people specific advice about good works they could do. These answers are a good start, and if we need more advice, I think that he will do the same for us if we go to God in prayer. What does God ask us to do? Good works, obviously, but perhaps something specific as well, which he can help us learn as we tune in to the Spirit and ask the question.

Today, let's do good, and ask God for specifics on what good he suggests.
