prayerfully

Psalms 50:15
"And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me."

We were studying the questions that Jesus asked. Last week, we went into Jesus asking if God would spare Him the agony on the cross. And then we heard the answer from heaven! GOD said "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." GOD gave the stamp of approval to Jesus and His mission. This moment is up there with Jesus's Baptism and the Transfiguration!

Events like this should inspire us to glorify God in the little ways that we can. Take chances to help spread the Gospel. Work with Jesus in His mission field. Call on the Holy Ghost to inspire us and guide us in our lives. Pray to God. Read and study the Holy Scriptures. Worship in the Lord's house every chance we can. Weekly or more. Share God's love with a world that doesn't love GOD.

Even way back in the Psalms, people understood this dynamic of our need to be thankful to GOD. Long before Jesus's incarnation people knew they needed to pray to GOD. God spoke through His prophets telling people to pray to Him. Like we read in today's verse. "And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me." Clear instructions to call upon the Lord. A promise that He will answer our prayers. And rightly we should GLORIFY GOD! This week we begin our study of prayer. We want to become as prayerful as we can!

obedient unto death

Philippians 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Are you offended? The creator of the universe became incarnate and walked with people. He served people. He sacrificed Himself for you and me. Was this work beneath Him? Did He have to do this? Why is THIS God's plan? Who am I to question GOD'S plan? In this letter, Paul's Holy Ghost inspired writing tells us to put others’ interests ahead of our own. Paul tells us to live from a spirit of selflessness, compassion, and unity, reflecting the character of Christ and His love for humanity. A love that is truly "MIGHTY!" "MIGHTY" is one of the names the prophet Isaiah recorded for the Messiah. This is NOT the typical way to be "MIGHTY." Jesus is GOD, and all the glory and majesty that comes with that. And God came down from heaven to be born into the family of people. GOD lived with us and died for us. ...

the donkey

Luke 19:32-34 "32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as He had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him." God's Grand Plan is your REDEMPTION! Since GOD can make that happen, getting a donkey to ride into Jerusalem is easy! Before the celebratory crowd is shouting "HOSANNA!" Jesus sent 2 Disciples to get a donkey. What is described in today's verses is exactly the way Jesus said things would unfold. Here we can see Jesus is in charge of ALL creatures. The people and the donkeys!  In the verses leading up to here we can read that the Disciples are not getting it. They are thinking the Messiah was going to take David's throne. Take Israel back from the Roman occupation. People did not understand God's Grand Plan. Even though Jesus told them all. On their way to Jerusalem they pass through Jericho. Zacheas was there, the...

encouragement

Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." We continue our study of the Lord's Prayer. This week, "Deliver Us From Evil." is also translated as "Deliver Us From The Evil One." We need to remain "sober" and "vigilant." A big part of this is studying the Holy Scriptures, like we are doing. We want to form a solid united front against Satan.  For the heart of our studies we turn to Paul's letter to the Ephesians. It was one of four letters Paul wrote while in prison in Rome. Paul cared deeply for the Ephesians. He lived with them for three years as this church was forming. He wants to encourage them and help them become successful. His words can help you and me today.
