“If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he will send it back here.” They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they untied it” (Mark 11:3-4).
The Lord has things lined up to meet the need. If something as simple as a donkey in the right place at the right time is lined up, why do you worry about things? Will the Lord not take care of your needs? The Lord has given us His word. How many times have you gone from the place of receiving His word to a place where you met the reality that “This is most certainly true?” Trust the One through whom You have your being.
Lord, I become anxious in this world of continuous consternation. Each day does have enough trouble of its own and I forget all the little instances where things were lined up just right so that my needs were met. Help me to see Your hand more clearly in order that I may stop worrying about the events in this age to see that You have all things in Your hands. You are the Lord of all.
Lord Jesus, You were on Your final march to Golgotha. You knew what was coming and You marched forward. We all know that we are heading to the small death. This world fears death, but although I do not wish it today, I know it is coming. Help me to learn from You how to live life fully each day. Help me to see Your hand in my life and the many places where You bless me. Amen.
