Nehemiah 3:15-5:13, 1 Corinthians 7:25-40, Psalms 32:1-11, Proverbs 21:5-7
What God said to me – Have you ever watched a movie about someone breaking wild horses? Some of the horses are only controlled and do what the rider wants when they are saddled and have a bit and a bridle and even then, the rider has to jerk the reins to get their attention. Others are so responsive all it takes is a gentle nudge of the rider’s knees to direct them. Like a trainer teaches and trains horses, “I AM” your teacher and instruct you in the ways of holiness and how you can please Me and direct you in the way you should go. The sad reality is that most of My children are like the stubborn horse or mule who only responds to stern pressure. They only come to Me when they perceive that they are in trouble and can’t handle things themselves. Unless I use adverse circumstances to jerk the reins of control and change directions, they keep going their own way. My eye is always on you. I know what you need and when you need it so look to Me at all times seeking My direction and instructions and learn to respond quickly to My gentle nudges.
