It's nearing the end of Jesus' life on earth. He sends the disciples to bring him an unbroken colt. "Should anyone stop and ask what you're doing, say, "Because the Lord has need of him."(Luke 19:31) God didn't need me to accomplish His will. He didn't need disciples to go get the colt. He just has it figured that way.
Way back in Genesis, God spoke the world into existence. But not man, Man was created from the dust of the earth, breathed into his nostrils and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7) The things we do in this world is because God has need of it. What does he need? Our obedience. God didn't need me to accomplish His will. He didn't need the disciples to go get the colt. He needs our obedience.
Whatever part you play, do what God bids you to do whether you're great or small or the most or the least. Do as God leads you to do. It may not seem like much but if God has called you to do it, then it's everything. Be willing to follow the leadership of God. If you do go and there's a Goliath or a Red Sea in the way or the world's against it, say "Because the Lord has need of it." God does not call on us to perform miracles. He knows we can't. He will do the miraculous. We just need to be obedient.
This is a strange time dealing with coronavirus. I talked to a couple who had been in business for many years and asked them if they had ever seen a time like this. They said, "No" that this was the only time they had seen anything like the present. "We may see it again next year but this is the first time." People aren't sure what to do.
Pastor Josh said, "I preached a funeral for my father-in-law this week. People came to me and said, "We don't know whether to shake hands with you, to hug you, or to wave at you. We don't know what to do." People don't know how to interact." Here it was at the saddest time, maybe the lowest point in their life and we're not even sure how we're supposed to act in public. It's a tough deal."
"God just calls us to be obedient. God just calls us to be obedient. He doesn't call us to know all the answers. He gives us the only answer we need. He doesn't call on us to do the miraculous. He knows that he will do the miraculous. God doesn't need you to do the extraordinary. God just needs you to be obedient."
