It Is Needed

Scripture: 28 After saying all of this, Jesus headed straight for Jerusalem. 29 When he arrived at the stables of Annia near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples ahead saying, 30 “When you enter the next village, you will find tethered there a donkey’s young colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me. 31 And if anyone stops you and asks, ‘What are you doing?’ just tell them this: ‘It is needed for the Lord of All.’” 32 The two who were sent entered the village and found the colt exactly like Jesus had said. 33 While they were untying the colt, the owners approached them and asked, “What are you doing?” 34 The disciples replied, “We need this donkey for the Lord of All.” (Luke 19:28-34 The Passion) Have I, have you heard this; ‘It is needed for the Lord of All.?’ How do we respond to a request like that? What if it is something that is very precious to us? What if it is something we think we can’t live without? Does the Lord of All really need something that I have when He is the Lord of All, and everything already belongs to Him? I believe the key here is our willing heart. Let’s ask ourselves these questions and see where our heart really is? Lord, I want a willing heart to respond to You when You say You need something from me. Thank You for this reminder today that You always have the right to say You need something that I might have. AMEN I will keep trusting in the Lord my God and do what is right in his eyes. I will give Him the right to direct my life, and trust Him along the way. I will quiet my heart in His presence and pray. Psalm 37
