Matthew 21:9 Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting, "Praise God, for the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God in highest heaven!"
It's good to be reminded that when we have Jesus in the centre of our lives, in the centre of our 'procession' through life that it will cause others to praise God and be a blessing to Jesus Himself.
When our focus is taken off ourselves and put on Jesus and what He has done for us and is doing for us right now, as He intercedes for us day and night before God, when we have Jesus in the midst of everything we do, it will affect others around us as well as ourselves for the good.
The 'religious' people didn't like it, but the man in the street did! If what we do and say causes God to be praised it has to be good. Just in case we forget, and it happens to all of us, let's consciously ask Jesus to be in the middle of everything we do today, in the middle of our decision making, in the middle of our work or play. When we're at home let's remember to include Jesus in our mealtimes, our talking with the family or when we're chatting on the phone because He's with us even when we don't realise it or forget.
When we're on our own it's lovely to know Jesus is right there with us and we can talk to Him about anything and everything because He cares about us and He's interested in every part of our lives.
Let's keep Jesus in the centre of our 'procession' as we go through this week and give Him praise.😊
