CRYING STONES

Sometimes we just have to praise the Lord! That is how Jesus’ disciples felt the day He rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. As He approached the city, his followers began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice. They shouted, “blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord.” Luke 10:38 (KJV)

Of course there were those who wanted everyone to be silent. They said, “Master, rebuke thy disciples.” Jesus’ answer is classic: “I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” Luke 10:40 (KJV)

We always have something to be thankful for. As the song says, “Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.” Don’t wait for the stones to cry out. Praise Him yourself.
