All of us have had those moments in our lives when we just had to tell someone about something exciting which happened in our lives:
- Ladies, when your husband asked you to marry him, did you keep it a secret?
- Men, when she said yes, did you tell your best friend.
- When your child or grandchild was born, did you tell anyone?
- When you accomplished something on which you had been working for a good while did you share the good news?
The reason we tell others these things is because good news and important accomplishments in our lives just have to be shared.
At Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem people were spreading their coats in the road and shouting:
No sermons found.“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” (Luke 19:38)

You and I as God’s people do not need a proclamation or a special day in the year in which to express our gratitude to the One who is sovereign over all creation. It is something which we can and should do every day of the year.
In these difficult times, if you haven’t already done so, I want to encourage each of you to pick up God’s Word. Read it. Meditate upon it. Let God speak to your heart and your soul. I promise you, it will make a difference in your life. Time spent in His Word on a regular basis will bring more benefit to your life than we can possibly fathom.

But, who are we? Paul says we are “earthen vessels”(NKJV, NASB95), “jars of clay” (ESV, NIV84). Long ago, Job asked God, “Remember now, that You have made me as clay” (Job 10:9).
