Like the donkey Jesus rode into Jerusalem, it had to be untied so that Jesus could use it. God has given all of us various gifts and abilities. For some it is organizational abilities; for some it is leadership. Others are gifted musically. Some are great teachers; some are good at bookkeeping and administrative tasks. The list is practically endless. But so often I see Christians with wonderful gifts and abilities which they use for their own profit in the business world, but they don’t contribute any of that ability to God’s work. Seems like some people feel it’s an imposition to ask them to contribute their skills and time to God’s work. There’s no question our churches and Christian organizations suffer because so few people are willing to untie their abilities and give them back to the Lord. We have to remind ourselves of what Paul told the Corinthians, that we have nothing we didn’t receive. Any talent or ability any of us have is just because God gave it to us. What have you got tied up today that God wants to use? Your home, your money, your time, your talents and abilities? Are you willing to untie them and give them back to the Lord? If you’ve been hoarding those things for your own use, you’ve been missing out on the greatest joys in life. And that is to see how God will use what you have if you’ll simply untie it. Remember, it doesn’t have to be fancy or splendid. All that God asks for is availability. That donkey colt was a humble thing to give to the Lord. But the Lord sat on its back and rode it into Jerusalem in the most important processional this world has ever seen! I don’t want to get to heaven and discover God had great and mighty plans to use me which never came to pass because everything I had was tied up and unavailable. Why do we have all our resources focused on a few short years of our earthly life, when we could be untying them and using them for God’s eternal purposes? Doesn’t that sound like a really good idea? What have you got tied up today that Jesus wants to use?
