Devotion for Tuesday, April 14, 2026

“Jesus entered Jerusalem and came into the temple; and after looking around at everything, He left for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late” (Mark 11:11).

Jesus made His entry into Jerusalem and then went back.  Scripture has been fulfilled in the expectation of the crowd.  The rest of prophecy, which was not remembered, awaited fulfilling during the remainder of the week.  See how intentional our Lord is, and the wishful thinking that is a part of the sinful human condition.  We want the good, but do not want the bad.  Our Lord will lead us through all things.

Lord, help me to receive the whole of all that You give.  You will not stop until I am conformed to the image of Christ.  Help me to receive what You give and walk humbly in this life which You have set before me.  Guide me out of myself to live life as it is meant to be lived.  Your timing is always perfect.  Guide me to accept and willingly live in Your perfect timing of all things.

Lord Jesus, by Your example, help me to constantly be in prayer knowing that the Father’s will shall be done.  You have called for me to follow You in and through all things.  Help me to understand that there are times to stay and times to go.  Guide me so that I hear and heed Your instruction.  Teach me and help me to learn the lessons You teach.  Through all things and in all circumstances, assist me to be faithful.  Amen.
