Good morning, Lord Jesus. More of You and less of me; more of Your will and less of mine. I’ve come to know that You know best. …
“When He had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of the disciples, saying, ‘Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it? Just say this, ‘The Lord needs it’” (Luke 19:29-31).
The colt had never been ridden. He had no prior experience and no prior training for the incredible honor and responsibility that was to come that day in the fullness of time and in the fulfillment of his destiny. But this colt was created to carry the King of kings and Lord of lords into Jerusalem for the Holy Week before the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.
And not only did You create him and choose him, Your Word also says You had need of him. In the mystery of the sovereignty of God, the Creator of the universe needed this donkey to fully accomplish Your purposes. And there he was, tied up and untested, but available and ready to be used at just the right time for just the right task.
As we enter in to this Holy Week, I want to remember that You’ve created me and chosen me with calling and purpose and destiny, like all Your children (Ephesians 2:10). I may feel inadequate and insecure, untrained and untested for all that You’ve purposed in Your heart to accomplish through my life. But I want to be available and ready, whenever the times may come that You choose to have need of me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
