Two Horses

IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2008

Galatians 6: 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
The following is not original with me; came to me via email and I am sharing it with you today as our devotion; hope it will be a blessing to you.
And may your weekend be all about sweet accomplishments, rest and worship!

Two Horses
There is a field with two horses.

From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing. Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.

This alone is amazing.

If you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell.
Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field.

Attached to the horse’s halter is a small bell. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow.

As you stand and watch these two horses, you’ll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse, and that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to where the other horse is, trusting that he will not be led astray.

When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, it stops occasionally and looks back, making sure that the blind friend isn’t too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges.

He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need.

Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives.

Other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way….

Good friends are like that… You may not always see them, but you know they are always there.

Please listen for my bell and I’ll listen for yours.

Father, thank You for those You have placed in our lives to ring a bell for us; thank You too for the privilege of being a Bell Ringer in Your Name. And for these listed here we come on their behalf and we pray that You will place just the right bell ringers in their lives; give them comfort and peace today with all the material, emotional and spiritual provisions necessary to glorify Your Name and grow them up in Your Image. Please protect our IDOK Troops today in mind and body and spirit. Forgive America for her sins; have mercy on us. We are still concerned about the Presidential election and we ask for wisdom and discernment to vote according to Your Will. Bless Israel with Peace and revive Your Church for Jesus Name sake.
