The Unwilling

"There's nothing more stubborn than a mule." the old timers used to say. Well, that saying is not really true anymore. Have you considered the human race lately?

I have pretty much given up on watching the news. It's not that I don't want to be informed. It's just that I am interested in hearing the truth. Why are we so unwilling to seek the truth or hear it spoken to us? Because it makes us uncomfortable in our sin?

Maybe that's why I have been reading my Bible more and more these days. I just finished reading through the Old Testament. Here's a gem from last night's reading.

"Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the warhorses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken. He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth." - Zechariah 9:9-10

Now there's some good news! THEE good news! And it was prophesied 500+ years before Jesus would actually come riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, the foal of a donkey. Good news indeed! And, unlike today's news, it's totally true, unbiased and factual.

Clutch your Bible tightly to your chest. Let no one tear it from your hands. It is our only source of truth. It provides hope and encouragement for the weary soul. It is the very Word of God, given to us, in love.
