Dang! I Feel Sorry For The Horse!
John Wesley traveled 250,000 miles on horseback, averaging twenty miles a day for forty years. He preached 4,000 sermons, produced 400 books, learned ten languages. At age eighty-three, he was annoyed that he could not write more than fifteen hours a day without hurting his eyes. At age eighty-six, he felt ashamed he could not preach more than twice a day. He complained in his diary that there was an increasing tendency to lie in bed until 5:30 in the morning.Faithful, dedicated, persistent, committed, passionate, focused, all these words and more could describe John Wesley. But the best would be relentless! He had a calling, a mission that would not be compromised. His lived his life determined to "preach The Gospel Of Jesus Christ"! When I read this story I immediately thought about the poor horse. A faithful servant, just as Wesley doing his Masters bidding. I am not sure about you, but I get tired. I tend to complain, I procrastinate! Then I read this story and I am shamed. We are on a journey! One day we each of us will find out the hard way just what we missed. Is there someone in our family that don't know Christ? Maybe a friend. I don't have 250,000 miles on my truck and it has several hundred horses! Please don't get angry with me, but I pray that you and I will not get any rest until we find out where God wants us to "mount our horse and ride" to. We just might save a loved one from a fate we dare not want to think about. God bless your journey!
Galatians 6:9 "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."Bro. Mike
Not angry at all Mike.
What better place is there,for us to be, than in our Father's will.
