My Donkey Stopped, What Now?
Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Oct 25, 2024 (message contributor)
Well, this is where it gets interesting. Say 100 years ago, two hundred years ago, I can almost certainly state as a matter of fact that if you were living at that time, you or someone you knew would have had a donkey, or a mule or a horse or a bullock. A beast that has been replaced by the internal combustion engine or a lithium ion cell battery. I would have preached what I just preached and every time your donkey, mule, horse, or bullock took an undirected turn, or stopped suddenly, or sat down unexpectedly this story would have come to mind. You would have wondered am I doing or saying anything that would be out of sorts with God’s will? A vision of an angel with a sword and potential shortening of your life might have come to mind, leading to repentance of your sins and ongoing justification with God. Historical context is an amazing thing. Today though we need to still check ourselves in relation to God and what he wants of us. Andrew W. Moffatt.
