As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’” Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They replied, “The Lord needs it.” (Luke:19:29-34)
The above passage is self explanatory. The point that I want to stress here is that when the Lord needs something or someone, it had to be given over to Him. No matter who owns it or has authority over it. The colt in this passage had an owner and he didn't say a word when the disciples untied the colt and said that the Lord needs it. What a powerful GOD we serve!
You may be like the colt, tied up in a place by your owner and been trained for something that you really didn't want to do. Cheer up. You are being groomed to take Jesus for a ride through the streets. You are being prepared to carry the glorious King on your back into the streets for all the people to see. Hallelujah! Without its knowledge for this moment the colt had been prepared for all through its life. You may find yourself in a place tied up and couldn't break free inspite of your every effort. Just relax and trust the Lord. He will send the required people, not only to loosen you but to use you to bring glory to His name. You may say, but what about my boss or owner? I am under a contract and cannot leave just like that. That's what the colt must have thought. But when the Lord needs you, what say does the owner have over you? He just have to obey and let you go. Get ready to take Jesus for a ride on your back!
Blessings!
