I said, 'Lord may I ride my horse again? It is such a long time since I enjoyed
the freedom of swiftly racing through the meadows and over the streams. My horse
is waiting for me. I have groomed him, fed him with tasty morsels, and I have
stroked his nose in pleasure. His deep eyes have watched me coming and his
whinnying voice has greeted me. But I have not ridden him for a while, nor put
the saddle upon him. He has not felt my weight upon his back and we are both
chaffing to be going again. I want to experience the freedom again of just
going! I need to feel the wind caressing my face and the delight of my steed
taking me to new places by his powerful body. 'Please may I ride my horse
again?'
He replied, 'Yes, you may ride again! But I am giving you a new
horse. He has been prepared for the swift running of the journey. Very soon you
shall ride, and none shall stop you. You will have a beautiful new saddle, all
intricately wrought in purple, and white and silver. I kept it for you for such
a time as this.I have designed it with you in mind. As you ride you will feel
that you are flying! Your horse will have wings! you will cover more miles than
when you used to ride. The going will seem effortless, and you will not be
tired. A new day is dawning. Go forward to new horizons, new places where your
feet have never trod, and new places that your eyes have never seen.
'Old
things are passed away; behold all things are become new.' 2 Corinth 5:17
