Donkey Mentality
LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ:
Matthew 21:1-11Behold, your King is coming to you, lowly, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey. Matthew 21:5
A minister referred to Christs triumphal entry into Jerusalem and asked: What if the donkey on which Jesus was riding had thought all the cheering was for him? What if that small animal had believed that the hosannas and the branches were in his honor?
The minister then pointed to himself and said: Im a donkey. The longer Im here the more youll come to realize that. I am only a Christ-bearer and not the object of praise.
In recording Jesus entry into Jerusalem, Matthew referred to the prophecy of Zechariah: Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King is coming to you, lowly, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey (Matthew 21:5; see Zechariah 9:9).
On Palm Sunday, the donkey was merely a Christ-bearer, bringing the Son of God into the city where He would give His life for the sins of the world.
If we could develop a healthy donkey mentality, what an asset that would be as we travel the road of life. Instead of wondering what people think of us, our concern would be, Can they see Christ Jesus, the King? Rather than seeking credit for service rendered, we would be content to lift up the Lord. David C. McCasland
O what can I give to the Master,
The One who from sin set me free?
Ill give Him a lifetime of service
To thank Him for dying for me. K. De Haan

Thank you, Mayor !

A Christians life is a window through which others can see Jesus....or not, sadly. May our Powerful Compassionate Just Lord keep us shining-clear and smudge-free!

What if the donkey on which Jesus was riding had thought all the cheering was for him? What if that small animal had believed that the hosannas and the branches were in his honor? A great lesson today from Our Daily Bread.
Methinks the dem donkeys and RINOS see themselves in this manner - lacking common sense and feeling they should be worshipped. They're in for a rude awakening come Judgement Day.

To: The Mayor; Finest FRiends
Thank you for another Military Monday, Rus.
Also, thank you for Our Daily Bread, the perfect start to any day.
God Bless and Protect Our Military.
