Many believers, alas! Are unlike the colt and need to be beaten many times. That is our nature; we are so stubborn we do not yield to the voice of God easily. We only want Him to bless us and deliver us from difficulties. When it comes to doing His will we do not want that. We only want our will to be done that is why many believers do not grow spiritually, they do not obey the Lord Jesus Christ implicitly. Yet with what joy and humility the colt carried the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus was showing His disciples at that time, if they wanted to be His true disciples, if they wanted to serve Him and follow Him, then they should be like that colt. By nature it was stubborn, but in God’s presence it was perfectly humble and obedient. No man can break our will. All of us are very stubborn and it is only after many years of beating that we become humble.
There are different kinds of pride in all of us and that is why we find it hard to obey the Lord implicitly. The Lord has to break our pride in many ways. Sometimes they breaking comes through sickness.

“Thou shall see greater things than these.”(John 1:51)
