This analogy may sound a little silly. But, it really spoke some truth into my life, so I thought I would share with the hopes of it doing the same for you :)
Today as I was driving home from work I passed the cow pasture on my rode. Just like Usual. However, this time memories from a couple years ago came flooding into my mind. Memories of a sunny day, an old friend, and carelessness. What did we do you may ask? Well, I'll tell you. One pretty day we were passing this cow pasture as usual, but this time, we decided we wanted to play with these cute little creatures. Mistake #1 they are not as friendly as they are cute. But, we did not know this. So, we climbed over the barbed wire fence and made our way over to the babies. The babies did not seem to even be bothered by us. The mothers seemed to be afraid but did not know what to do, while the bulls were ready to do whatever it took to protect their families.
While thinking about this I kind of felt like God was showing me how He is our bull. Big. Strong. Equipped and ready. And, He will do whatever it takes to protect us from anything that could harm us. The mother cows did not know what to do in the face of fear. They just stood there helpless. The babies had no idea. They just stood there clueless. Evil comes in many different ways. Sometime it creeps up on us and we don't have any idea it is right behind us, and sometimes it is staring us straight in the face and we don't know how to defeat it. Just like Psalm 3:6 says, " I will not fear the tens of thousands gathered against me on every side.. from the Lord comes my deliverance." That is when our bull kicks into action. Ready to do anything and everything to protect his family or his children, the bull will succeed. Our Father will succeed. Sometimes we are like the babies, we have no idea the extent to which our Father goes, to protect us. Thats why we need to thank our Father everyday! Thank Him for the things He is doing that we don't even know about. He will protect His children. He will protect His family. No matter the cost.
