Hosanna In The Highest.

“Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭26‬ ‭

Today Palm Sunday begins the Holy Week. I listen to Christian music on shuffle a lot while cleaning, in the car, writing a blog, or doing anything else I do during the day. In the last few days, I have hit shuffle in the first few songs the song "Hosanna" came on. I absolutely love the song, it's always been calming to me but it was strange how often it kept coming on. As I opened my Bible to a random page today I opened up to Psalms 118:26, the verse this blog is written about. I was reminded of what today is all about. When Jesus fulfilled the prophecy and all the people gathered and shouted, "Hosanna" I still don't fully understand what all God is showing me with this, but I do know that today is the celebration of the week that changed everything for all of us. Jesus began His journey, and He began to fulfill the prophecies, He knew what was to come but went ahead anyways because He knew what He had to do. When you think you aren't enough remind yourself that the one who made the heavens and the earth thinks you are good enough to die for. You are worth it all! As the weekend is to come remind yourself throughout the week of the things God has done for you, the price He paid for your freedom! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “took palm branches and went down the road to meet him. They shouted, “Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hail to the King of Israel!”” John‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬ ‭ “Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.”‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭8‬ ‭“This took place to fulfill the prophecy that said,” Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬ ‭ ““Tell the people of Jerusalem, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, riding on a donkey— riding on a donkey’s colt.’”” Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭5‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
