Trip to the market

This story is about a man, his young son, and an old donkey who take a trip to the market place in downtown Jerusalem. The man, donkey and his son head out on their journey to purchase food and supplies for their family. As they reach the market place, they were traveling down the center street with crowds gathered on both sides of the street. The man was walking and the young boy was riding. The man heard a voice yell "Look at that, that boy is too lazy to walk !' The man stopped and then reached up and removed the boy. He then mounted the donkey and now the little boy was walking. A little further down the road another comment was echoed, "Look at that man making that poor little boy walk. He should be the one walking instead!" The man stopped again and dismounted the donkey. He could now be seen walking beside the his son as they continued toward their destination. Then above the roar of the crowds came a voice shouting "Look at that lazy old donkey, he is too old and worthless making the man and his little boy walk!" Suddenly there was a great silence. Not a sound could be heard. The man and the little boy were now carrying the old donkey, with his front & back legs tied to a pole as they continued to work their way toward the market area.

QUESTION: What is the moral of this story?

ANSWER:

If we listen to the world for guidance and approval, we will never really hear what God wants us to do. Listen to what The Lord has placed in your heart, and continue on that journey that He has planned for you. Keep your eyes on God and not on man. He won't mislead or misdirect you.
