Keep the Bull Kiss the Dirt

God continues to show me why life just seems so out of control at times, because it never is controlled. Life is like a 2000 lb bull at a rodeo, you try to ride it as long as you can before you end up with a face full of dirt; then take that and repeat it over and over again, that is life. Once you put God in the mix you expect more of a pony ride, but its not the animal that changes its the rider, its you. Before you dreaded the bull, it alone was the cause of countless tears, countless fears, and countless worries. Now the bull is no longer viewed as a challenge, or a problem, or even a bringer of pain, but it is an opportunity, it is a solution, it is a victory.

Day by day we all have things to worry about, things to cry about, things to be sad about, but if we look at these "problems" the way that God does we would be singing, and praising. If we surrender every challenge we are faced with to God and recognize that he will take care us, these "challenges" will become more of a blessing. Each and every problem will become a new and wonderful testimony of how great our God cares for us, if we just exercise the one thing he has always asked of us, obedience. Obedience by surrendering our issues, our problems, our fears, our challenges, our whole lives into his hands. The more we surrender to God the more he can bless us in, the reality of life is God can do it everything better than we can. So ride the bull, but do it knowing that each time you fall there will be a blessing waiting for you in that dirt, one that is worth the fall.
