Dude Ranch

Friday, June 27, 2014

A cowboy on a dude ranch watched one of the guests trying to saddle a horse. "Pardon me," he said politely, "but you're putting the saddle on backwards." "What makes you so sure?" the guest asked angrily. "You don't even know in which direction I'm going."

Many times when we try to share what God says about how to have an abundant life, this is the type of logic we deal with. Many people today are just going to do whatever they want in the way they want, period. I have learned that God's way is the only way to live in peace, happiness and joy, and yes, I have tried a lot of my own ways and they just don't work. Many people are "Happy to live in a Jerry Springer world. Where things are all stirred up and everyone is screaming at each other. Some families have produced generations of children who create strife. I ask you to join me and pray for the peace of God in these families. When we seek to glorify God with our life, He will deliver His greatest blessings. So, the question is; Which direction is your horse going? Jesus is the answer for the world today!
