Abundance In The Bush - Country Devotions PART 2Sample

Trapped

The horse is trapped. It races frantically, first to one part of the valley looking for a way out, then to another and another. There’s a hand at work, closing off all the exits, one at a time, until the beast knows… there is no escape. Confined, it stops and turns. It steps towards a light, willing to face the unseen hand that has it snared. Now the proud animal stands in the full light. Here, its Master sees the ugly growth on the horse’s side and He pulls it off. The cuts and bruises He treats lovingly, soothing, bringing healing.

The horse sees it was wrong. It realizes it was love closing off the exits. Why didn’t it come into this light long ago? That which it was so certain was a trap, was a plan and protection so it could be healed and free.

Once each wound is tended, the Master releases the horse into fresh pastures where it gallops and frolics in newfound strength, freedom and pleasure.

Are you feeling as though all your exits are being closed off? God is not your enemy. He has no intentions to harm you. You have no reason to be afraid. Step into the amazing, wonderful, healing light of His truth. He will heal your wounds and you will be free – free indeed.

I stop running and stand with courage in Your presence Father. Thank You for Your healing and the light of Your truth breaking through any darkness in me. Amen.
