The one with the oxen
When it comes to the way we’re supposed to live our lives in relationship to God, there are so many metaphors – remaining in the vine, walking in the spirit, abiding in Christ – but wow, did the one about the yoke come alive with today’s entry.
As many times as I’ve read that scripture, I never got it. Truth be told, I don’t spend a lot of time around oxen.
The idea is that I need to pay attention and keep in step… It’s like Goldilocks: too fast and I’m struggling, too slow and I’m struggling… The pace Jesus sets for me is just right.
What’s the takeaway for me today? Taking the time to ask and listen what’s next, keeping my heart tuned in to what He’s saying, and letting Him be in the driver’s seat.
