I wonder what it would have been like to be a part of the crowd when Jesus entered into Jerusalem. Would I have jumped right in with the praising? Would I have stayed home? Would I have recognized the Jesus for who He truly is?
Sometimes in my life, I fail to recognize Jesus at work. I fail to turn my eyes toward him and his goodness. Jesus came to defeat sin, death, and the devil; an enemy that is so much more powerful than Pontius Pilate, or any earthly leader. Why is it so hard for me to see that sometimes? I know that Jesus died for my sins, that he has redeemed me, yet I still try and pretend that I can do it on my own.
Lord, I thank you for your forgiveness, even for someone who might lose sight of you amidst all the chaos of life. Lord, continue to be patient with me, love me, and guide me.
