Prayer and Praise


Scripture:  Matthew 21:1–27 

 

Observation:  I see in this passage the theme of prayer and praise.  Jesus made it clear that the temple was to be a place of prayer and not for selling pigeons.  He also talked later about the prayer of faith that could move mountains. 

 

The other theme I see here is that of praise.  People praised Jesus, Yeshua, as He rode into the city.  The infants and nursing babies praised Him too.

 

For me prayer and praise are two things that can change our lives and have the most impact in our lives and in the lives of others.  We see here Jesus going again to matters of the heart.  In Matthew 15:18 that we read a couple of weeks ago Jesus told us that what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart.  We used to have a saying when I was studying computers, “garbage in-garbage out”.  The same is true in our lives.  What we put in, is what will eventually come out.  May it be prayer and praise!

 

Application:    Take (extra) time to pray and praise Him today!

 

Prayer:  Father in Heaven, Holy is Your Name!  Thank you for the children in my life and how they teach me about childlike faith and praise.  May we take time today and each day to spend in prayer.  May Your praise be on our lips continually.  In Christ’s name I pray, Amen & Amen
