Refreshed living

Palm Sunday

I will pour out water upon thirsty ground and streams upon dry land. I will pour out my spirit upon your descendants and my blessing upon your offspring. ~ Isaiah 44:3 (CEB)

But when the chief priests and legal experts saw the amazing things he was doing and the children shouting in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were angry. They said to Jesus, “Do you hear what these children are saying?”

“Yes,” he answered. “Haven’t you ever read, From the mouths of babies and infants you’ve arranged praise for yourself? ~ Matthew 21:15-16 (CEB)

KEY IDEA:
Through Jesus, God is pouring out refreshment on even the simplest of people.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Jesus, for the way that you are refreshing my life. Even when I act like a cranky religious person you're still sending fresh rain on me. Help me to be more like the rejoicing people who freely praise you. I want to live the refreshed life that honors Jesus as king. Amen!
