Happy Wednesday! I hope that you had a nice evening. This morning we will begin our reading in Matthew chapter 27, where we find Jesus in the custody of the leading priest elders of the people.

Bible Verse – Matthew 27:1-2 NLT

“¹ Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders of the people met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death. ² Then they bound him, led him away, and took him to Pilate, the Roman governor.”

Reflection

While the priest and elders had a trial by night and condemned Jesus to death, they had no power to put Jesus to death. The ruling had to be made official in a trial by day and the Roman governor had to make the final decision.

Join me this week as we continue to unfold the trial and a decision that would change our lives forever.

Prayer

Father God, thank you for loving us until death and beyond. Lord, forgive us for the delay in recognizing you as our Lord and Savior. Lord, forgive us for giving into the pressures of this world instead of relying on you. Lord we appreciate everything you have done for us and continue to do. Lord, continue to watch over us and direct us in your truth. Increase our awareness of who you are and of your presence in our lives. Lord, go before us today making our paths straight and your favor apparent.

Continue to work in our lives and our households. Lord, create in us a pure heart and lead us as we seek your truth and peace. While you work on us, we ask for prayers for others. Lord, hear our prayers – Lord, heal the men and women who have been struggling with pain. Protect all the children as they go to school, while they are in school, and return home. Lord, be with the women who are struggling to break free from toxic and abuse relationships. Lord, help them to get the help that they need. Lord, give us boldness to live in obedience to your word. Lord, provide food, shelter, and steady employment for those in need. Lord, continue to show the two girls who ran away from home who you are. Lord, give those two girls and the countless other runaways a safe refuge, release from bondage from the enemy and his followers, and heal their minds from traumatic experiences we don’t even know about. Lord, comfort those who are grieving and preparing for the holidays ahead. Lord, give them strength and peace. In Jesus name, amen.
