The parade crowd answered, “This is the prophet Jesus, the one from Nazareth in Galilee.” Jesus went straight to the Temple and threw out everyone who had set up shop, buying and selling. He kicked over the tables of loan sharks and the stalls of dove merchants. He quoted this text: My house was designated a house of prayer; You have made it a hangout for thieves. Now there was room for the blind and crippled to get in. They came to Jesus and he healed them. When the religious leaders saw the outrageous things he was doing, and heard all the children running and shouting through the Temple, “Hosanna to David’s Son!” they were up in arms and took him to task. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” Jesus said, “Yes, I hear them. And haven’t you read in God’s Word, ‘From the mouths of children and babies I’ll furnish a place of praise’?” Fed up, Jesus spun around and left the city for Bethany, where he spent the night.

This reading plan discusses Jesus’ roles as Prophet, Priest, and King.
Donkeys might not seem like spiritual mentors, but in the Bible, God used them to teach us lessons. This 3-day devotional will guide you through three unique Bible stories involving donkeys. Each one contains a different lesson about hearing God’s voice, following His lead, and remembering that it’s not about us—it’s all about Jesus. Can God use even a donkey to speak truth into your life? Absolutely. So open your heart—and maybe get ready to say “Amen” or even “Hee-Haw!”

Do you do this? This opens doors and solves problems. This inspires others to do this, too—it’s the good kind of contagious. When they tell our life stories, we want them to put this at the top. We are hardwired for this. Because of what God did for us, This is What We Do.
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, you may find yourself carrying heavy burdens. As things go out of control and nothing seems to be going according to plan, remember, God always has a plan. Even when we do not understand what is happening, we can learn to respond with praise–laying it all down at His feet, and celebrating His victory over all our enemies!
