Matthew 21:2-3
saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.”
Tag: Sovereignty of God
The above verses are a great example of the Sovereignty of God. Jesus tells the disciples something that was going to be pre-arranged by God. In our lives, God "prearranged" meetings and events. Jesus had much control over the last days of His life, as ordained by the Father. He is often told that it was not "time" for differing events. God has arrange this "transportation" to ride into the city to fulfill the prophecy of the O.T. God arranges the events of life to fulfill His word and His plans. If we watch the world around us we can think and often do think that "things just happen." That is a favorite mantra of the world's philosophy. However, things don't just happen. God uses evil in this world to accomplish His task (Genesis 50:20). God uses events in this world to fulfill His Word. Imagine the owners of the donkey and colt. They had to be in the right place at the right time to make this happen. God does that in our lives, too!! God is sovereign in our lives.
