Because God

If anyone says to you, “Why are you doing this?” say, “The Lord has need of it.”

Mark 11:3

Why am I doing this? Because the Lord has need of it. Do not be mistaken; God does not need me, or any of us. Our almighty God, all powerful and all knowing does not depend on any creature. It is because He so graciously wants us to.

It is astounding to me how God is using such lowly means to accomplish His purpose. This verse is from the passage titled, "The Triumphal Entry". Same passage Joe preached on today during service. Joe talked about how we need to understand obedience beyond words and actions. Our works are a reflection of our hearts. We need to know that these works mean nothing if we don't understand that it is because God allows us to worship Him.

I most definitely can bring a donkey from point A to point B! I bring this donkey because God has allowed me to worship Him. With all my soul, I will give Him the glory that He alone deserves and no one else.

God looked at me and took me in and used me for His glory.

Anyone else would have laughed and walked away.

- Why do I give myself to God? Because He has need of it. -

Amen!
