Great is the Lord – Hosanna!

Lent Day 40 - Palm Sunday 

No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the LORD. Proverbs 21:30

This was written long before Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey surrounded by a throng of people shouting “Hosanna.” It was even written before He was born—but God the Father had a plan. A lot of people just cannot seem to grasp the plan that God has—for His Son to give His life in sacrifice for our sin. It is beyond normal human understanding…it takes spiritual understanding to accept and apply that to our lives. According to Solomon’s writing here human wisdom, understanding and plans can’t stand up to the Lord’s plan. So whether we can totally comprehend it or not, we can’t come up with a better plan than God. It makes sense to me. I know that my mind thinks lesser thoughts than God. He is awesome and His ways are beyond my comprehension. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! Psalm 147:5.

Prayer ~ Lord Jesus, how awesome it must have been for the people as they honored You, sitting on a donkey, with palm branches strewn across Your path. They thought You were going to save them from the Roman oppression—but it was their own sin from which You were going to save them. They just couldn’t see. Give us spiritual wisdom to see You as our spiritual leader—as our Messiah. Show us Your plan for our lives.
