Prepare Ye Horses!!!...

FOR BATTLE!

Finally found the verse that I wanted to share yesterday during prayer.

All thanks to the HUGE storm that provoked me into writing this. Also, this week has been such a emotional roller coaster I just can't ignore but share it with you all, more so than sharing Candy... HA.

"The horse is made ready for battle, but victory rests with the LORD."
~Proverbs 21:31

We are all, metaphorically, preparing our horse(s) now. With the phone calls, emails, powerpoints, singing, choreography etc, it does seem like its going to be an intensive battle! And boy are we Excited about it!!!

I think we are so excited that we honestly thought we are going to win it all man!

Yet, by His grace, we have been reminded and drawn back to him with a contrite heart to admit that we were so busy feeding our horses and training them up that we ALMOST, just almost forgot who is the commander-in-chief.

He leads us into battle and he decides how, when and whether we are ultimately going to win whatever battle we are fighting. This is not preparing ourselves to be pessimistic. Rather it serves as an important reminder that as mere soldiers, we have no authority over our leader neither should we assume that just because everything has been so well planned that we MUST win (I'm using win very loosely here, its up to you to interpret it).

So, do not be discouraged or disappointed with the results we see right now, but with Hope, trust that as long as we are doing all these for the Glorification of God and Edification of Saints, we can be sure that Victory has already been achieved!

Also do not be complacent that our horses are already fattened up and strong now but keep on praying with a humble heart that the Lord will use us as instruments to play the Bestest music for him! "La di Da..."








If any of you haven't, start whipping up your horses into shape!

"Eeehh-Haaaah!!!"

"With Christ and for Christ, Victory is certain."
~Saint Bernard of Clairvaux
