Today’s Bible Verse: “And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” — Luke 1:17

Luke 1:17 highlights the mission God gives to His messengers, both past and present. This verse, referring to John the Baptist, illustrates God’s desire to reconcile relationships, restore hearts, and prepare people for His work in the world. The imagery of turning hearts and guiding the disobedient emphasizes God’s restorative power — not only in the spiritual lives of individuals but in the communities and families around them.
