This weekend we celebrated Palm Sunday. I just love the days leading up to Easter. They are days filled with lots of anticipation and celebration. This weekend we also had a special treat as Israel Houghton lead us in worship.
My husband's message was based out of Mark 11. He said told us that Jesus often calls us to do something risky (like taking a donkey before asking) and also something that has never been done (like riding a donkey that has never been ridden). Here are a few of my favorite lines...
He told us that God is not a genie who carries out my wishes, rather I am a donkey who fulfills His purpose!
Sometimes in order to be victorious, you have to look ridiculous.
God doesn't need me to understand fully in order to obey completely
He closed by encouraging us, "When I do as Jesus tells me, it will be as Jesus told me." He challenged us by asking, what is Jesus asking you to do?
You can listen to the message (or watch it) at our website, the Elevation Network and our podcast.
Have a great Monday!
I love tuning into Elevation for my midweek workout Jesus fix.
