Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their clothes on the colt, they helped Jesus get on it. 36 As he was going along, they were spreading their clothes on the road. 37 Now he came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:

38 Blessed is the King who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Peace in heaven
and glory in the highest heaven!

39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”

40 He answered, “I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out.”

Luke 19:35-40 CSB

When was the last time that I praised the Lord?

A Prayer

Heavenly Father, Glory in the Highest Heaven! Lord, You are Holy. I bless You. I praise You. You are worthy to be praised. My words are not adequate to explain the majesty of who You are. Thank You for the gift of reconciliation through Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

I truly believe that taking time to reflect during the month of January re-centers my vision for the year ahead.

The passage illustrates the importance of being a beacon of light in dim, dark places, as guided by Luke 11:33-36. One must not let comfort lead to dulled awareness, but instead consciously illuminate one’s environment. It urges self-reflection on how one’s personal light can lead others towards embracing Jesus.
