It is almost impossible to for us to say, “The Lord needs”. We have relegated ourselves to t faith that places no responsibility at all on us because we say that He doesn’t need us, but He chooses to use us. If that were true, it would mean we could neglect the work of the Kingdom. In fact it would mean that we were useless to the Kingdom. But, the Word reminds us that we colts have a part to play in lifting the King and carrying Him in to places where there is need for Him. Oh! that we would learn that He has need of us!
Our Lord has dominion over each one of us … He can use us when and how He chooses to. Who He is (Our Lord, King of Kings, Lord of All) – takes a great post over – who we are (Servants of God, Children of God, New Creatures).
When He has an occasion for our service, we have to learn and submit to His place as our Savior, Our Lord. We are supposed to be ready to allow Him to use us as soon as He needs us to carry out the task He created us for. I know for myself that this world tries to convince us that each of us is supposed to be this amazing servant of God that is known. But that’s just not the truth. Not at all! Our Lord uses the mundane, small, and ordinary! I mean come on! If He had them to say “The Master needs it” regarding a donkey, He can certainly use you too!!
This missionary heart of mine is pleading that the Lord will move all of our minds and hearts to hear Him and submit. I’m praying that Our Father will help us to stop using His Word as a way out of Kingdom work. I’m praying that He will remind us that there is a need for us to do what He has created us to do … no matter how small, mundane or ordinary the task may be! I’m praying that we will, each one of us, cry out to Him to use us and give us willing hearts … obedient hearts.
