The Donkey’s Divine Lesson

In the Bible, the donkey holds a significant role that goes beyond its physical presence. It teaches us a profound lesson: it's not about what one obtains, but rather what one leaves behind. The donkey's importance lies in the Kingdom work that awaits us, meticulously laid out in the Bible and delivered to us through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Are you listening?

What strikes me is that the donkey didn't possess any extraordinary qualities or perform remarkable feats. It was merely selected. However, what sets this donkey apart is its unwavering obedience to a simple command: follow wherever the master leads.

The donkey possessed a profound understanding—it was not about him. Rather, it was about the Messiah he carried—the Word made flesh, dwelling among us. It was about the message the Messiah came to deliver—the Light of the world, bringing hope into our darkest moments.

As we delve into the significance of the donkey in the Bible, we uncover a profound truth. It is not about our individual desires or self-promotion but about embracing the mission that God has entrusted to us. May we listen, learn, and allow the example of the donkey to guide us in the Kingdom work that lies before us.
