Luke 19:30-35 “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying that colt?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said. 33 And sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?”
And the disciples simply replied, “The Lord needs it.” So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on.
My Thoughts
We need to lives our lives in such a way that God knows that anything that he ask of us we we freely give. Jesus knew this man would give his donkey, just because he needed it... no explanation of why or what for... no questions from the owner of the donkey...just a gift to Jesus because he needed it. I don't think God minds if we ask why.... He loves us and wants us to understand... but I also think that when we know without a doubt that God is asking for something from us that we should be prepared to give without even a thought.
This donkey would have provided something for this man... he could have sold it and fed his family for no telling how long... or he could have used this donkey to plow his fields for years...but he gave his donkey freely all because "The Lord needs it."
What does God need from me today? I need to ask...what does God need from you? Can we be like this man who gave up his donkey?
