Reading: **Matthew 23:39 (ESV); Psalm 118:19–26 (ESV)** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. ** Jesus’ words are not a threat but a promise—there is always another chance to see Him clearly. Many acknowledge Jesus as teacher, helper, or advisor, but few bow to Him as Lord. The gates of righteousness stand open, but entering requires surrender. The rejected cornerstone becomes the foundation of everything. Today is the day the Lord has made—not for delay, but for decision. Jesus is inviting you to see Him fully by placing Him in His rightful place.** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Lord Jesus, I choose to recognize You as Lord. Help me surrender every part of my life to Your leadership and authority.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** 1. Identify one area where you resist Jesus’ Lordship and yield it to Him in prayer. 2. Declare aloud one truth about Jesus’ authority in your life.
