Stirring Up the Crowd

Scripture Mark 15:11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.

Observation: That is what the devil is doing today, stirring up the crowd. He continues to deceive by false accusations pointing one direction while injustice is being done in the other. The devil knows what to do and he has his dominions are well trained for deceiving. By the time some of us realize we’ve been deceived by him it will be too late and we will spend all eternity with him.

Application: I need to stay focused on God’s word and will for my life. I need to stay away from what I’m being told in this world and trust in God. God has given me a purpose for this time and place and I need to be working on accomplishing that for His glory. Time is coming when I will be in a place where none of what is going on will matter and I get to live with the one I love forever.

Prayer Dear Lord help me each day to be on the path You have chosen for me. Help me take this life a day at a time and that each day I do something that will bring a smile to your face.
