Hoofbeats to the Heart of God
Posted By Phylicia on January 31, 2010
After one semester spent practicing on Liberty’s equestrian team, I began praying about a ministry for girls that allowed them some participation with the animals I love so much. Now in this semester, I have decided to start up a small study for girls on the campus to attend. It’s very informal, but it will combine some teaching about the horse itself and the art and science of horsemanship with Biblical concepts pertinent to the girls’ lives.
The relationship between the horse and rider is a good analogy to our relationship with God. Just as the horse is gradually trained to be in tune to its rider’s desires, so we are developed by the Lord to be most effective for him. The more rebellious a horse is, the longer the training process — whether the trainer decides to ‘gentle’ or ‘break’ him.
I am so excited to see the study begin, small as it may be! Please pray that it would be a blessing to the girls and that I would be able to bring some joy to their lives through this.
