Matthew 21:12-17 (NLT)
Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves!”
The blind and the lame came to him in the Temple, and he healed them. The leading priests and the teachers of religious law saw these wonderful miracles and heard even the children in the Temple shouting, “Praise God for the Son of David.”
But the leaders were indignant. They asked Jesus, “Do you hear what these children are saying?”
“Yes,” Jesus replied. “Haven’t you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, ‘You have taught children and infants to give you praise.’” Then he returned to Bethany, where he stayed overnight.

Meditate
You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength (Psalm 8:2).
Pray
Heavenly Father, you oppose the proud yet give grace to the humble. Forgive us for seeking to be self sufficient. Soften our hearts and deepen our experience of Your grace. Make us as children who see Jesus as he really is and trust him for everything. Equip us to love and serve the residents of Bobrich Apartments for Your sake and in Your strength. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.
