Many years ago, when a young friend asked if he could borrow our car, my wife and I were hesitant at first. It was our car. We owned it, and we depended on it. But we soon felt convicted to share it with him because we knew that God wanted us to care for others. So we handed the keys over to him, and he traveled to a church 30 miles away to conduct a youth rally. The meeting was used by the Lord to bring teens to Christ.
Jesus instructed His disciples to take another mans donkey. The Son of God told His men to loose it and bring it to Him (Mark 11:2). If someone objected, they were to say, The Lord has need of it, and they would then be permitted to lead it away. That donkey carried Christ into Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday.
Theres a lesson here for us to consider. We all have things that we hold dear. We may have thought, I could never part with that. It may be a new truck, a coat, some other possession, or our precious few free hours during the week. Will we be open to give when someone obviously needs something we have?
If you sense that the Spirit is speaking to you, let your time or possession go, as the owner released his animal to Jesus. He will then be glorified as He deserves!
Read: Mark 11:1-11
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for the Palm Sunday sustenance for body and soul.
A Blessed Lord’s Day to The Mayor family.
"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." -from THE BIBLE: Romans 8:26-27
