"The Lord has Need of It" PDF E-mail
In Luke 19 (and in the other accounts in the gospels) we learn that Jesus instructed the disciples to go to town to obtain the "unbroken" donkey that He would ride into town.  Jesus simply told them that when they were asked what they were doing, they should just reply, "The Lord has need of it..."  As you read the narrative you see that it happened exactly as Jesus said...and the disciples said what they were supposed to say.  And, the marvelous response of the donkey owner was, "Okay."  I wonder if we are that eager to give to the Lord whatever He has need of today.  It is very easy to clutch the things we are only supposed to manage.  We take ownership of His blessings so easily for a variety of reasons but many times it is because we wonder if He is good enough and big enough to care for us.  What has the Lord asked you for lately?  Was it hard to say yes or has your walk with Him revealed that giving it to Him is really a good thing?  Are our hands open or squeezing something?

The Father is asking for my trust and contentment with present circumstances, especially during stress and at work. I must lay hold of the fact that godliness with contentment is great gain!
