Driving this morning I was so inspired by all the colors of
the scenery. Every cloud, every ray of sunshine, every green field, every
yellow or white lily, fields of purple flowers....but my favorite, which caused
me to pull over on the side of the road, was an Amish man working on training a
horse. I sat parked just in awe of the beauty of the animal and the patience of
his teacher. The horse was unbridled and being a bit stubborn. But when the man
placed the bridle on, the structure of the bridle seemed to bring comfort to
the horse and allowed him to be a bit more focused. It was as though that
beautiful horse knew discipline of the bridle brought focus and he was ready to
obey his teacher.
As I drove away my mind drifted to the thought....How are we any different? When we are unbridled we seem to become unfocused. We do things on our own, at our pace, our will, we speak without thought and we don't follow or do what we are truly "lead" to do. But, with the guidance of the bridle we have no choice to bring our focus back.
When we surrender and place the bridle on, we become focused on our Teacher. His word. His command. It is then that we learn to become more disciplined to follow Him, trust Him, believe His word and realize He loves us.
My morning was beautifully blessed with the sight of the horse and his teacher. Most importantly, my Teacher sent a clear message to follow, trust, believe and know He loves me.
May you be incredibly blessed today!
