Psalm,
Chapter 22, verse 24:
24 You who fear the
LORD, give praise! All descendants of Jacob, give honor; show reverence, all
descendants of Israel!
This
verse was fulfilled on Palm Sunday, which we reflect on today, with Christ’s triumphant entrance into Jerusalem.
Let
us this week honor and praise our Lord Jesus Christ everyday as we rise by
saying Shema Yisrael which is the same prayer the Christ most likely
prayed every morning Himself and is still prayed by pious Jews today.
Hear,
O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord you
God with all your Heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and
with all your strength.
My
question is how does, one Love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.
Perhaps
to understand this better we should ask ourselves:
1.
What
are the desires of our heart?
2.
Whose
flag are we following?
3.
What
consumes our mind?
4.
How
do we use our gifts?
God
created us to be a priestly people and the world was designed to be our temple.
We will never find true happiness except through God because He hardwired us
for the priesthood. We are called to make an offering of our life.
Today
we memorialize Christ’s entry into Jerusalem with palms.
Let us offer daily to our Lord in the morning our dreams & desires,
our total loyalty to Him and His church, our thoughts and the gifts of mind and
body He has given us.
