Key Verse: 2 Samuel 9:7
So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.”
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Lord Jesus, You not only place our feet under Your table, You have set an example of washing Your disciples’ feet. I pray that, by Your enabling strength, I will do a better job of washing the feet of others, as their servant, in a variety of ways. Amen!
100 PERSONAL WORDS:
Today is Palm Sunday, the anniversary of the day Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 (click here). Jewish people were coming to Jerusalem by the thousands from all over the world to celebrate Passover. They knew the prophecies well and the reputation of Jesus. They shouted “Hosanna,” which means “save now” (Matthew 21:1-11). No doubt, many believed that Jesus was about to overthrow and declare Himself an earthly king, freeing Israel from the rule of Rome. Matthew would show us that Jesus’ commitment was meeting the needs of people like “Mephibosheth,” rather than sitting on an eartlhly throne. I believe God has spoken to me about a “Mephibosheth” for whom I should show more love and practical service.
Yours for placing feet under the King’s table, because of His amazing grace,
David
Hosanna in the Highest

“In a factory building there are wheels and gearings,
There are cranks and pulleys, beltings tight or slack–
Some are whirling swiftly, some are turning slowly,
Some are thrusting forward, some are pulling back;
Some are smooth and silent, some are rough and noisy,
Pounding, rattling, clanking, moving with a jerk;
In a wild confusion in a seeming chaos,
Lifting, pushing, driving–but they do their work.
From the mightiest lever to the tiniest pinion,
All things move together for the purpose planned;
And behind the working is a mind controlling,
And a force directing, and a guiding hand.
So all things are working for the Lord’s beloved;
Some things might be hurtful if alone they stood;
Some might seem to hinder; some might draw us backward;
But they work together, and they work for good,
All the thwarted longings, all the stern denials,
All the contradictions, hard to understand.
And the force that holds them, speeds them and retards them,
Stops and starts and guides them–is our Father’s hand.”

I am sending a BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE PRAYED FOR ME THIS PAST WEEK!
I can’t begin to describe how it feels knowing that many are praying! I am not alone! Please continue to pray for me!
I have many issues to deal with, regarding the rent increase challenge, I would ask that you please pray for MS for strength and wisdom and the right words to speak as he continues to prepare to go to the Tenants Board to present this case! I pray the Lord will grant us favour and dismiss this case completely!
Please pray the Holy Spirit will change the owners hearts from greed to compassion and that they be content with the rent they receive!
again, THANK YOU for all the prayer support!
