On Palm Sunday, Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on a donkey.  Many people cheered and waved palm branches in excitement.  They had high hopes for Jesus and what He could do for them.

A week later the same crowd had an opportunity to free Jesus from death or to free a true criminal named Barrabbas; they chose Barrabbas.

One day they were excited about Jesus but when things didn’t go as they expected, they were done. They went with the crowd.

Am I ever like that in my faith?  Do I praise Him one day and am mad at Him another?  Do I praise Him only when things go my way and pull back when my prayers seem unanswered?  Do I blame Him for others’ choices and sin? Am I fickle in my faith?

Jesus is my Redeemer.  Jesus is my Savior.  He is the same yesterday, today, forever.  He deserves my praise regardless  of how my life is unfolding.  By His Spirit, may I be steadfast and true to Him.

My prayer is to live my life in a way that shows I choose Jesus everyday.
