Taming Wild Horses

What is your vision for your life?

What is the purpose you are living to fulfil?

We all have a destiny to fulfil and we are all here for a purpose, regardless of how our lives are panning out or what we are going through. Our responsibility is to pursue that purpose every minute of the day, make decisions in accordance to our purpose, use that purpose as our path and do not deviate from it.

Unfortunately this life has some unexpected events that will jump out at us from time to time, and in these last days that we are living in we are going to see more and more troubled times. What will matter most is how we deal with these circumstances and situations, rather than how we allow them to deal with us. As Christians we have the advantage of knowing the end from the beginning, we know that we have already won; we know we are more than conquerors, and we know that we will always triumph. It is in not casting away our fearless confidence that will be an amazing testimony and witness to the rest of the world. And it is that vision and purpose that will be the very tool that will prevent us from going off course.

In Prov 29:18 we are informed that where there is no vision the people cast off restraint, another translation puts it that the people run around like wild untamed horses depicting a people who are in total chaos, with no direction. This is not an ideal image for a child of God, we should never allow ourselves to run around like wild untamed horses, driven by our emotions, driven by wild ideas, by the failing economy, talk shows, horoscopes and many other negative influences to make silly decisions that will drastically effect our lives and family moving us away from our purpose in life.

What is our guide, our anchor our influence in these crazy uncertain times? It is our trust in God, our ability to close our eyes and fall backwards knowing that He has got us and will not let us fall, why? Because He loves us too much. Proverbs 3: 5 is my lifetime scripture and every so often the Holy Spirit will gently remind me of it, ' Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path’. The dictionary definition of trust is ‘to have a firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing’. It is this trust that will enable us to keep our heads when everyone else is losing theirs. We can trust God to be our El Shaddai, our God who is more than enough, the many breasted one who has whatever it is that we need. Trusting God with all our hearts means not being moved by what we see, what we feel or what we hear but staying on the path of our vision, being committed to fulfilling our purpose.
