Palm Sunday is a reminder that God’s plans don’t always look the way we expect — but they’re always good. The crowd in Jerusalem shouted, “Hosanna!” thinking Jesus would bring political freedom, but He came to bring spiritual restoration. They wanted a crown — He chose a cross. And in doing so, He fulfilled the greatest plan ever made: our redemption.

We often have expectations of how we think God should move. We pray a certain way, expect a certain outcome, and when it doesn’t happen as we thought, we’re tempted to think the plan failed. But the truth is — God’s plan hasn’t failed. Our understanding has. The cross didn’t look like victory, but it was. And your life may feel out of place right now, but if God is in it, it’s still in His hands.

So today, lay down your expectations. Trust the King who didn’t come to take sides — He came to take over. And if I know my Father, I know this: His plans for you are still good.

Just a thought,
