"Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them" (Matt 21:2-3).
In Bible times, donkeys were primary means for distributing goods and services. In the scriptures they represented - commerce. Jesus told the disciples He had need of someone's donkey to ride into Jerusalem, the religious and spiritual center of their society.
I am sure the disciples must have been uneasy with their master's request to untie a perfect stranger's donkey and take it. After all, He was asking them to take what was the equivalent to a man's "truck." And men love their trucks! Jesus was illustrating that He wanted to use that man's donkey, or that which represented their work, to bring glory to the Father.
When we dedicate our work life (our donkey ) to the Lord, He will use it to bring glory to Himself. Our lives also will be more meaningful than ever.
