Matthew 21:41
The Jewish leaders were very specific in their answer. The Lord chose the Jews, and they are a very capable people. They knew immediately what should be done, and how to go about it. But, to see what application this had to themselves, they obviously failed to do. This just brings glory to the Lord. It shows the veil that puts over the eyes of the rebellious. Do not think that he will only do this with the Jews. Rebellion will always lead to spiritual dullness, no matter who you are.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your wisdom. Without it we would be so confused. We need Your knowledge in our lives. We cannot even know what step to take next without You. For, the steps of a good man are indeed ordered by the Lord. We need Your leading. Thank You for making Your truth available that we may learn not to be rebellious. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
