Tempted to childishness? Pray for wisdom.

Morning: Psalm 25; Jeremiah 44:1-14; I Corinthians 15:30-41  
I wonder if Jesus is surprised by people’s childish behavior? He asks: “To what shall I compare this generation?  It is like children sitting in the market place and calling to one another …” A modern version of this story might include the familiar taunt, “Na na na na na!”  What do you think, has our generation progressed much beyond this kind of childishness?  Anthropologist Bill Plotkin says that 50% of North American adults never will mature beyond adolescence.  But Jesus said: “Wisdom is proven by wise actions.”  I don’t always show such mature wisdom, but I pray for it.
