Mummy i think im famous!!

so i've been away for a bit... since getting back i had a lot of spiritual food to chew on and understand before i write about it... the process was kinda rushed because IGOC starts today and gotta keep on the move, had to deal with that stuff so I can be open to recieve what God has instore for this conference... (checkout the website and feel free to join us).

There was once a little donkey who ran home one evening to his mum, excited to tell her about the adventures of the day. "mummy! mummy! remember how the other day i was crying because noone wanted to sit on me, and i thought no one wanted me? well, mummy, you'll never guess what happened to me today! two men came and got me and took me to Jerusalem. they put their coats on me, and even laid their clothes and palm branches on the ground for me to walk on! everyone was cheering and clapping and dancing and waving at me. everyone was so happy to see me! Mummy i think im famous!!" he said. Now the mum donkey had to calm him down and gently tell him "my darling, yes they screamed and shouted and waved, but it wasnt for you. all of it was for the one you were carrying into Jerusalem."

its a humbling thought to think of myself as a donkey, but this story based on Luke 19 illustrates what worship is. verse 34 reads : "And they said, The Lord has need of it." Just as the donkey was needed to carry Jesus, we (the church) are needed to lift him up in worship. its not about me at all. the clapping, cheering, dancing, singing should all point to Him. if that donkey had gone buck wild and distracted the crowd it would have subtracted from the whole point of Jesus riding into Jerusalem. the focus was not on how loud the cheering was, how expensive the clothes on the ground were, how beautiful the harmonies sang were, or even the little donkey that had never been sat on.

At the heart of the Kingdom is the King. Worship Him.
