Palm Sunday - Daily Devotional

Palm Sunday is a significant day in the Christian calendar as it marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As we reflect on this day, let us consider how we can apply its lessons to our daily lives as Christians.

One Bible verse that comes to mind is found in Matthew 21:9, where it says, "The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, 'Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!'" (NIV). This verse captures the excitement and joy that filled the hearts of the people who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem. They recognized Him as their long-awaited Messiah and King.

As Christians, we too should welcome Jesus into our lives with joy and excitement. We should recognize Him as our Savior and King, and honor Him with our words and actions. We can do this by cultivating a daily habit of prayer, worship, and Bible study. By spending time in God's presence, we open our hearts to receive His love, guidance, and strength to face life's challenges.

Moreover, just as the people of Jerusalem laid down their palm branches before Jesus, we too should surrender our lives to Him. We should lay down our fears, worries, and doubts at His feet and trust in His plan for our lives. We should also strive to live a life of humility, putting others' needs before our own, and serving as Jesus did.

In conclusion, let us remember the significance of Palm Sunday as we begin Holy Week. Let us welcome Jesus into our lives with joy and excitement, lay down our burdens at His feet, and seek to live a life of humility and service. As we do this, may we experience the fullness of His love and grace, and draw closer to Him each day. Amen.

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."

HIS NAME HAS POWER IN ALL THREE WORLDS: Daily Devotional

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth - (Philippians 2:9-10). If Jesus really did give us the legal right, that is, authority, to use His name, what results should we expect from using His name? What is so important about the name of Jesus? What does His name represent and why should we have so much faith in Jesus' name? We have the answer in our first scripture. Notice the construction; is absolute. It says, "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow"; that is a sovereign decision, a law in the realm of the spirit. Hallelujah!

Trust in the Lord with All Thine Heart: Daily Devotional

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 KJV) - INSPIRATION - Why has God commanded us not to rely on our own understanding, but to trust Him wholeheartedly? The answer is simple. “ There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death. ” (Proverbs 14:12 AMPC) Are there any of us who haven't suffered the consequences of making a wrong decision? Remember, there are things we are sure of before deciding what to do. But when a choice is made and the verdict of the outcome is in front of you, the outcome can bite like a viper or stink like a rotten egg. That is why the Lord commands us to trust Him to save us from ourselves. Trusting the Lord means relying on, trusting, or relying on His wisdom to guide us in life. When we trust Him, we try to understand what He is saying and use His words and wisdom to guide our lives. An ...
