Yep, thanks Wanda for the also cheesy song!  ;)

Good findings on donkeys too! I wouldn't have known that without God showing you  :)

Wanda:
I did research about the significance of donkeys in the bible a few years ago, but my findings are much more than I could post here.

I'm including just a small bit of what I gleaned from it all.

The most unforgettable Bible donkey event was when the Lord Jesus Christ rode a donkey colt through the city of Jerusalem.  This donkey ride had been prophesied for hundreds of years before the actual event. "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an a@@, and upon a colt the foal of an a@@" (Zechariah 9:9).

In following Christ's example, when serving the Lord, our focus should be on obeying Him with lowliness and humility.  Thinking of the Christ riding a donkey, as Christians, our aim should not be to capitulate to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (1 John 2:16).  "The world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever" (1 John 2:17).

Donkeys in the Bible and today—as an animal, they have served us well.   May we be like Christ's donkey, willing and set aside, patiently  and humbly waiting for our Master's touch,  that we may fulfill the tasks the Lord has ordained for us to accomplish.

The donkey is a reliable and humble helper, just as our Lord and Savior is to us.
