Beast of Burden

Say to the Daughter of Zion [inhabitants of Jerusalem], Behold, your KING is coming to you, lowly and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey [a beast of burden].  Matthew 21:5 AMP

At one point in Jesus journey, HE is riding on a beast of burden.  A draught animal created, or one could say purposed, to carry or pull heavy loads.  Said to be a hardy animal in that they can survive much:  extreme temperatures, poor diet, lack of water and neglect would be the shortlist.

The one purposed to carry heavy loads carrying ONE purposed to do the same.  The one purposed to survive much carrying ONE who survived it all.  

Our KING came in riding on a beast of burden with the weight of the world on HIS shoulders.  

Are you burdened with all that is going on in the world today?  Are you anxious? Worrisome? Concerned?  

So here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Leave all your cares and anxieties at the feet of the Lord, and measureless grace will strengthen you.  Psalms 55:22 TPT

Be Strengthened and Encouraged in HIM,
