Mathews 21:5 says that Jesus was meek as he rode on a donkey toward his final path to the Cross.
In Mathews 11:29 Jesus said the He is meek and lowly in heart�
Being meek is the 3rd beatitude.

(Praise ye the LORD) or (halal . . . yahh): HALLELUJAH.
This phrase �Praise ye the Lord,� is listed 23 times in the Psalms in 22 chapters.
In English hallelujah is sometimes used to express such things as �thank goodness,� �WOW,� �alleluia,� �Thank God,� �amen,� and among others, �banzai.�

Today�s Memory verse: (not that I remember them� it is the thought that counts they say.)
(Eph 1:7 KJV) In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; That is not a complete sentence so here is the rest of it! (8) Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; (9) Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: (10) That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (11) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: (12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
May You Be Blessed by the Holy Spirit to Overflowing!
Bye for Now!
