Just Do It!

Scripture: Mark 11:3 If anyone asks, 'What are you doing?' just say, 'The Lord needs it and will return it soon.'"

Observation: As Jesus was approaching the Triumphal entry into Jerusalem, He sent two disciples ahead to get the donkey. The disciples were afraid of what the people would say when they took the donkeys. So they went and got the donkeys! I could only imagine what the Disciples were thinking! They are going to think we are stealing them, we could go to jail, they're going to take us out…you can almost hear them in their huddle discussing this! So they come back to Jesus…umm "what are we supposed to do if somebody ask?' Just tell em the Lord needs it!

Application: We often over analyze the situations that God puts us in. We weigh the pros and the cons and then make a decision. When in reality all we are doing is wasting time. I know for a fact that sometimes I just need to stand up and say…"The Lord needs it." And that's it! We must do what He says…that settles it. It may not make sense and others may think were crazy, but God is in control.

Prayer: Lord, may I have the courage and boldness to do what you say and not question, analyze, or stall. Just to do what you say! In Jesus Name…Amen!
