S - Scripture
Matthew 21 v. 46 But when they (the chief priests) tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.
O - Observation
Release. That's what this verse tells me about the chief priests and really myself. The chief priests, knew deep down inside, that Jesus was indeed special, after all they have heard of his miracles, been astonished at his teachings and grasp of God's word. But, it is their own selfish pride, there own personal agenda, their own status in life that prevented them from recognizing Jesus as God. They needed to RELEASE those shackles, those ties to self. John the Baptist, truly inspired by God has a great LIFE STATEMENT. John 3 v. 30. He (Jesus) must increase, but I must decrease. We must let go and let God.
A - Application
Am I letting Go? Is my self pride, selfishness preventing me from seeing and experiencing the full goodness of God?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to let go. Bless me. Love Will.
