My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Bill Crowder … AT THIS LINK …   … tells of the bells in a Welsh church (see photo) being fashioned from natural bluestone, which have the natural quality of musical tones, which for centuries rang out to the glory of God.          

On this Palm Sunday, we often reflect from the highlight passage on Jesus descending on that donkey, …  the road to God’s Temple … with the people worshipping Jesus as their Messiah.  However, Jesus weeps, … knowing what was about to transpire with those same people turning in sin to crucify Him.  

What are we feeling today on this Palm Sunday?  Are we joining with creation, heard in the linked song, to cry out in worship for our Savior, …our King Jesus, … as we recognize our Creator’s glory, … singing out our praises to the Lord and Savior Who created us?  I stop to prayer that for us all today!!                                                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for joining with all creation to sing praises in worship to our Lord.      

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to sing praises on this Palm Sunday to our Lord, the One Who died to save us all.      …  Amen               .
