November 10: A Few Noisy People!
Luke 19:36-40
Amplified Bible (AMP)
36 And as He rode along, the people kept spreading their garments on the road.
37 As He was approaching [the city], at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God [extolling Him exultantly and] loudly for all the mighty miracles and works of power that they had witnessed,
38 Crying, Blessed (celebrated with praises) is the King Who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven [freedom there from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin] and glory (majesty and splendor) in the highest [heaven]!
39 And some of the Pharisees from the throng said to Jesus, Teacher, reprove Your disciples!
40 He replied, I tell you that if these keep silent, the very stones will cry out.
It all began with a few noisy disciples! Then, as Jesus rode along, the snowball effect happened!
Matthew 21:10-11
Amplified Bible (AMP)
10 And when He entered Jerusalem, all the city became agitated and [trembling with excitement] said, Who is This?
11 And the crowds replied, This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee.
John 12:17-19
Amplified Bible (AMP)
17 The group that had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from among the dead kept telling it [bearing witness] to others.
18 It was for this reason that the crowd went out to meet Him, because they had heard that He had performed this sign (proof, miracle).
19 Then the Pharisees said among themselves, You see how futile your efforts are and how you accomplish nothing. See! The whole world is running after Him!
Hey folks! Lets be as noisy as possible about our faith in Jesus! Instead of sitting and watching the world fall apart, lets focus on getting the good News out as loudly and as quickly as possible. And then the snowball effect will happen! The whole world will hear! And this will lead to His return. The Bible says so.

"Dear God, please forgive me for focusing on the terrible condition of our nation and our world lately. I want to focus on You instead! Getting the Good News out to as many people as possible! Loudly! I want to be a noisy foghorn of truth. A bright light shining Your truth in a dark world. Thank You for revealing this to me today. To You be all the glory and Honor, Jesus. In Your name I pray, AMEN."
