“As they approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples, and said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here” (Mark 11:1-2).
How does our Lord know these things? Think about this for a moment. He who was, is, and is to come knows the outcome of all things. The Son is always listening to the Father. The Father knows not only what we will ask, but what will come. He knows. He saw Nathaniel under the fig tree. He sees you now. He sees all the days in front of you and what you are doing now. He who knows calls you to come with Him.
Lord, the disciples did not know whether the donkey had been ridden upon, but You did. A seemingly trivial matter, but You know all things. You do not coerce or control but beckon us to come with You on an eternal journey. Lead us away from always worrying about circumstances to follow You who knows all things. Guide us to live according to Your never-failing word.
Thank You Lord Jesus for marching forward to Jerusalem. You knew what awaited You and You went anyway. You will lead us through all the crosses that come our way in this age. Help me to trust You above every circumstance and live into the life which You are giving me. Guide me in Your goodness and mercy to see that my hope is truly in You and what You have done and will do. Amen.
Hello, my name is Richard Keal and I have enjoyed both your perspectives and daily devotions over the past few months. I miss the devotions, having not received one since last Thursday. Are you still sending them out?
I am a long standing member of Good Shepherd Church, Naperville. We disaffiliated with the ELCA a couple of years ago and are a member congregation of LCMC.
Your daily devotions start my day and I appreciate them very much. Will you continue publishing them?
Thank you
Rick Keal

Sorry you were having difficulty with them. Yes, we do post them daily.
We noticed last week that the images of the normal post photos were being replaced by one of Lutheran CORE’s logos. We investigated and believe we have that problem solved now. I want to make sure you know that you can still click on ones with the logo to bring up the daily devotion post (see April 6th on the Facebook page, for instance).
I don’t know where you typically read your posts, but they are available on our website at this link (scroll down to see them): https://lutherancore.website/devotions/daily/
They are also available on Lutheran CORE’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LutheranCORE
And we just got them back on X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/LutheranCORE
Does that help?
Also: We have been tweaking a bit. We may have solved it just now. If so, let me know if you start receiving them in email again. Thanks!

I love your daily devotions. I have not received a devotion for the past few days. Hope all is OK with you all.
Thank you so much! I’m sure Dr. Greene will love hearing that. We think we have figured out what went wrong. Stay tuned!
Thank you for posting, I lost my email delivery last week and redid my subscription to see it I can start receiving them again. Now I on the more was going on.
Thanks much. I have been receiving your daily devotions via my email. I will start checking your website.
