In Matthew 21, we have the account of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. He was riding on a borrowed colt. There was not royal pomp, but there was the praise of those that loved Him. That's what Jesus is looking for today. He doesn't need expensive churches or ornate shrines or huge donations. What He really wants is praise from the heart and sincere service. It doesn't matter as much the amount we give as the spirit in which is was given. Jesus praised the widow who gave two mites more than the Pharisees who gave much. It is still the same today. Jesus is looking at our heart. Because men cannot see the heart, they look at what people do. Let's no judge or be judged by outward appearance. Let's remember what is truly important and serve God from the heart.
These are my notes from my daily personal devotions. They are not proofread or edited in any way. The feed is also a weekly sermon podcast. My focus is on living out what the Bible teaches literally. I hope it will be a help to you in you spiritual life. May God be praised.
