Do you think you have someone figured out?  Do you ever tell them how predictable they are after they have done what you thought they might do?  Of course if you told them before hand they would not do it just to prove that they were not as predictable as you said they were!  This weekend is Palm Sunday and while it is a big deal to have the Lord come through the Eastern Gate to the cheering throngs, it is easy to forget what Jesus said and did while on the Mt of Olives before He entered the city.  He wept.  God's people (and they are reflective of all people) have a rather predictable pattern of choosing the second best option.  What the people wanted on Palm Sunday was a Deliverer...from Roman oppression.  What they needed was a Savior to deliver them from sin.  In God's amazing grace even their rejection of Him as Savior provided what mankind really needed...but most of the ones present that day missed it.  At least one of the big lessons for Palm Sunday is that God sometimes gives us what we want instead of what we need...and sometimes in spite of what we need.  Let's trust Him to describe what we need...and receive what He has provided for our need.
