Exodus 30:11-31:18, Matthew 26:47-68, Psalms 32:1-11, Proverbs 8:27-32
What God said to me – Training horses to go as you direct is not easy. If you are familiar with horses or watched their breaking in a movie, you see where they buck and fight against the trainer. Some never respond willingly and always have to have a strong bit and tight reins to keep them in control. Others respond to their trainers eagerly and eventually don’t even need the bit, but just a gentle nudge of the knee of the trainer to turn and go in the desired direction. That’s My desire for you. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will counsel you with My eye upon you. Don’t be as the wild horse and fight against the bit. My prophet, Isaiah, cried out to Me, “here am I send Me Lord”, but My prophet Jonah ran from Me. In the end they both went where I planned for them to go, but one submitted to My gentle nudge, eager to please Me and the other fought against the bit and had to be disciplined. Which one are you?
