Then the crowds who went ahead of Him and those that followed kept shouting: "Hosanna to the Son of David! He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed one! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"Matthew 21:9
Ah! the fickle crowd. Jesus would not put much stock in this adulation because in a few days they would crucify Him. Crowds are untrustworthy beasts. Yes we can be sure they will shout and make a commotion but they are dangerous.
It is dangerous to think any crowd is for us and to build on that because they can change. My bible says 'if God be for us who can be against us.' I would rather put myself in His hands any day and stay there.
I feel safe with the Lord and not with man. No I don't have issues with men or women but like Jesus I know their hearts and I know His heart and I know who I would rather have.
King David also knew this. He knew that even family can turn and in their lust for power, determine to kill. He knew who he trusted and he knew he could trust the Lord in all things. Amen!
I am grateful David knew the Lord because he left us a heritage of beautiful Psalms.
I know the Lord and am determined to leave a beautiful heritage for my children and grandchildren.
David lived a long time ago yet he still speaks. What are you leaving? What is your message?
