“Some of the bystanders were saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission” (Mark 11:5-6).
In a very real sense, this is an even greater miracle. Permission was granted for an incredibly unusual circumstance. But this is the way of the Lord; we call it a miracle, but He knows what is going to happen. Of course, things will go the way the Lord says, He is the Lord of all. Do not be caught up in the speculations of this age, but live in the reality that this is our God’s creation.
Lord God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, all things are in Your hands, for You are the One who made them. Help me to learn that I am a steward and own nothing, for it all belongs to You. Guide me in the truth of reality and help me to give permission whenYou call for it. Help me to be constantly in prayer, trusting the truth that all things have always and always will be in Your hands.
Lord Jesus, You taught Your disciples the principle of binding and loosing. You are the One who must give the direction; but help me to trust when Your Holy Spirit speaks so that I may do what You tell me to do. Guide me in Your goodness and mercy to learn to trust You above every circumstance and not live according to what I understand of the situation I am in. Lead me, Lord, in the way of everlasting life. Amen.
