Today's Photograph . . . . The Rest Of The Herd Will Usually Follow . . . (MQ) |
Ezekiel 33:19
And if a wicked person turns away from their wickedness and does what is just and right, they will live by doing so. (NIV)
Thoughts
Trying
to turn a herd of buffalo can be a tough job. When buffalo get it in
their heads that they want to go a certain direction and you want them
to go elsewhere, they usually end up going their way.
If
by chance you can get ahead of them and turn the lead cow, the rest of
the herd will usually follow. However, it is important to take a fast
and trustworthy horse along with you.

Action Point
If
we are not on God's path, He wants us to turn, do a complete 180 degree
pivot and get on His path. Through His forgiveness, none of the sins we
committed while going the wrong way will be remembered. "None of the
sins that person has committed will be remembered against them. They
have done what is just and right; they will surely live," Ezekiel 33:16
(NIV).
As a matter of fact, the sins we committed are removed. "As far as the East is from the West,
so far has He removed our transgressions from us," Psalms 103:12 (NIV). That's a long way!!!
I
have heard people say that they can forgive but they won't forget. I
might have even said it myself a time or two. I'm so glad that when God
forgives my sins, He also forgets them. If we ask Him about the sins we
have committed in the past, He will say, "What sins???"
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
If
in the future, you are planning a horseback ride, make sure to check
your tack before you hit the trail. I have seen some pretty nasty horse
wrecks caused by bad stirrup leathers or worn-out latigos. Replacement
of bad parts before the ride can help keep horse and rider safe.
