Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

All of us have many responsibilities in different areas of our lives; we all wear many different "hats". Sometimes it is easy to let the responsibilities in one or two areas overtake all others and we become overwhelmed by the tasks facing us each day.

Usually the result in this scenario is that we become inefficient and inadequate; unable to fulfill any of our roles. Some of us might be wearing too many "hats", and crumbling under the load!

Our heavenly Father knows our strengths and our limitations; if we ask Him to help and guide, He will show us how to get it all done. Maybe, if we are being overwhelmed, it might be time to make a change and take off one or more of those "hats" we are wearing.

Pray and let the Holy Spirit be your guide!

God Bless You!

--TODAY'S NOT SO TRIVIAL TRIVIA QUESTION:

Q. Which gospel states that Satan tempted Jesus while He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane?

answer below

------------------------------------------------------------

--DAILY BIBLE VERSE:

When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, saying,

"Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here..." So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them...

Then they brought (the colt) to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.

Luke 19:28-36

As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds were praising Him because they believed He would be the leader of their earthly kingdom. They did not understand that His kingdom was not of this world.

--FEATURED POEM:

Peace does not mean the end of all our striving; Joy does not mean the drying of our tears; Peace is the power that comes to souls arriving Up to the light where God Himself appears.
