Where Are You Looking?
Horse riders (experienced) and trainers will tell you that a significant part of directing a horse is where you put your eyes. For novice riders this seems unbelievable and even silly to some. After all, how you can just “look” somewhere and the horse will go there?
Yet, it is true. Horses can sense/feel where you are looking. For one thing, you likely don’t realize it, but when you look in a certain direction; or change direction of where you are looking; your whole body position changes (even if very subtle) and the horse can feel that. Also, many times, a rider will experience an emotional change upon looking as they may see a good sight, a fearful sight, etc. Again, the horse senses the emotional change.
Our spiritual walk is very similar. If we allow what we “see” going on around us to direct our path; then we will largely be led by our emotions. We live today in a world completely out of control! Really!
Luke 21:28 “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
In all of history only one book has remained both accurate and applicable with no re-write ever needed-nor will be needed. The Bible.
