I was riding in the car listening to the radio and the song, Jireh by Maverick City Music and Elevation Worship came on, one of my favorite songs. As the song was playing, I was thinking of what I could write a blog post about. I had been feeling the desire to write something for Holy Week. But I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about. This week I decided to read scriptures of events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion and death. I figured something would come from that but I got nothing. As I continued to listen to the words to the song, Jireh, I began to think…

People are Fickle…Love Them Anyway!
Have you ever experienced people being for you and then they switch up and are against you? People can be fickle. I often think of Jesus and how one week the people were yelling “Hosanna, Hosanna” and literally a week later they were yelling “Crucify Him, Crucify Him.” I’m sure you’ve experienced the highs and lows of people, one minute they’re on your side and the next they quickly change based on who’s around.
