Let's keep Malooloriorview in our prayers as she seeks another job. Trust that "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Ps 37:4). God is faithful and with us always! 
Let's join in prayer! 
**Let's lift up these requests, everyone!** [Pilate said,] "But you have a custom of asking me to release one prisoner each year at Passover. Would you like me to release this 'King of the Jews'?" But they shouted back, "No! Not this man. We want Barabbas!" (Barabbas was a revolutionary.)
—John 18:39-40 NLT
Key Thought
At first glance, we look at the choice made by the people on this horrible day and wonder how they could do it. However, when we take a long look at ourselves, we are struck by the many times we have chosen other things over Christ in our lives. In fact, that is what sin is — choosing something we want over the will and the work of Jesus! So today, let's be humbled and reminded how fickle we can be. One day we are shouting hosannas and hallelujahs to Jesus, and a short time later we are choosing something totally opposite to Jesus. Let's not trade the Lordship of Christ in our lives for anything else, for that would be ... sinful!
Today's Prayer
Give me an undivided heart, O God, and help me follow my Lord Jesus Christ with passion and perseverance. Open my eyes to the many things that would distract me from my commitment to Christ, and give me the strength to stay away from them and to keep my focus on Jesus. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
