After Mark 11:1-14
Not a
stallion or other
variation
on a horse
not a
chariot or even
a cart,
not anything
they
expected but:
a donkey,
and not
only a donkey
but a
donkey
previously
unridden,
never
before ridden
never
before worked
or used
and that
is the point
The donkey
to be used first
to carry
the king, the messiah,
the one
foretold, the one anticipated,
the one
desired and yearned for
riding a
donkey
confounding
expectations
contradicting
expectations
a king
riding a donkey
the animal
used for hard work
the animal
whose strength
is used to
serve.

God loves to do the unexpected to get our attention. Sometimes He chooses the lowly and humble things of this earth to confound the wise. I love how God continues to work in His mysterious ways to show us His power and magnificent plan. Even in our current government scene. It all comes down to having faith to see God's plan in the midst of chaos and frustration...and realizing that God is always, always in control. This was outstanding...and made me think. I like that. Have a blessed and glorious day.
