And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. -Matthew 21:9


God bless you and happy Monday! We are in the midst of passion week and I am humbled yet again by the sacrifice of Christ. 


Christ knew that He would be on the cross within a few days, placed there by those who stood before Him now screaming hosanna, yet He humbly submitted Himself to the plan of God. 


It is so easy to become a part of the problem if our relationship isn’t primarily with Christ. The High Priest and Pharisees wielded a significant amount of control over the people. 


Like the girl divining through familiar spirits, they tried to give the appearance of praise, it seems that as they couldn’t outshout those around them, they grew jealous and tried to shut them up. This is an obvious thing the enemy does, if he can’t outshout you he attempts to shut you down. 


As the crowd lavished adoration, the jealous hearted leaders of the temple reignited their plan to accuse and kill Him. 


Later in the week they themselves pulled strings and pushed buttons inciting the crowd literally throwing a rock, but hiding their hand. 


Beloved it is our place to keep saying hosanna no matter who stops saying it, it is our place to glorify Him in spite of what others say. 


God bless you and command your day!!!

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
