Prepare your heart for this thought:
As
strong as a wild bull.
Psalm 92:10
But you have made me as strong as a wild bull. How refreshed I
am by your blessings.
Wow... were not talking about a bull that has been out to pasture to long,
or a bull who doesn't have confidence of the power he has within him. We are
talking about a wild bull. One that refuses to be fenced in. One who has never
been told to behave, calm down, you can't go there, you can't do this or that.
I
hope your a wild bull for Christ. Remember how it was when you first discovered
the power of His saving grace alive in you? No one, and nothing could change
your mind about what you knew to be true. But....... then life happened. You
became tame in your faith, all straightened out and quiet.
Education in tradition will kill the
wild bull in you.
Be
as you were created to be. Be the one who stands and continues to stand in the
river of truth that flows from heaven into your soul.
This psalm tells us how refreshing it is to be blessed by the Lord. Refreshment
brings renewed strength. Being refreshed allows you to press on when you are
feeling tired. Blessings are like flowers and rain, they go together. Without
the rain the flower would die. The flower stands in the rain and grows because
of it.
A wild bull can not be kept in the barn out of the rain where it is safe from
experiencing life. It is the rain and the storms that blow that bring the bull to
rage on in the midst of turmoil.
The bull is wild because of the
wilderness not the barn.
It's the wind blowing against his nostril as he
breaths in freshness that causes the bull to dig in deeper and run without
hesitation.
Where are you? Are you in a barn? Are you in the building, in the four
walls of a "church". Church is not a building, it's the body of Christ, the
people.
Get out of the barn! Don't play it safe buy staying within your comfort
zone. (AKA... the barn!)
The storm will pass you by and you will not have seen the lightning that
flashes a path in front of you. Christ will never leave you. He will light your
way through the dark in the storm. Get out of the barn and live, be wild in your
faith, dare to tread where others won't. Dare to walk up to the face of God and
present him with his own words that say HE will supply all your needs, that say HE
holds you in the palm of His hand, that says HE knew you before you were
born and has plans to prosper you not to fail you. Present yourself to God
holding HIS words in your heart and HIS blessings on your lips. Don't over look the small stuff. Blessings
come in many shapes and sizes.
Be
a wild bull in your faith. Don't just sit in the barn and waste the power of
Christ that is in you.
