TRY MY REINS LORD......(KJV)Passage Psalm 26:2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.REIN : a strap fastened to a bit by which a rider or driver controls an animal A REIN IS WHAT IS USED TO GUIDE .. DAVID IS TELLING THE LORD TO GUIDE ME AND SEE THAT MY HEART IS WILLING TO BE LEAD. IF A HORSE WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO GUIDE IT THEN IT CAN NOT BE USED. THE SAME WITH A PERSON . ANYONE THAT WILL NOT ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE LEAD CAN NOT BE USED BY THE LORD. IF A HORSE DOES NOT TRUST THE HOLDER OF THE REINS IT WILL RESIST GUIDANCE. WE MUST TRUST THE LORD FULLY AND ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE GUIDED BY HIM.IF YOU ARE A SELF CENTERED PERSON ALWAYS DOING THINGS YOUR WAY AND NEVER ALLOWING THE LORD TO GUIDE YOU, THEN YOU ARE LIKE AN UNBROKEN HORSE. I DIDN'T DO IT GOD'S WAY FOR MANY MANY YEARS. ONE DAY I REALIZED I HAD NOT BEEN DOING WHAT I SHOULD FOR ABOUT 26 YEARS. I REPENTED AND ASK THE LORD TO FORGIVE ME AND HELP ME TO GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK AGAIN. AS I TRUSTED HIM AND ALLOWED HIM TO GUIDE ME IT SEEMED SO MUCH WAS ADDED TO MY LIFE. SOMETHINGS WENT REALLY FAST AND SOME SLOWER, HOWEVER IT SEEMED I WAS BEING PULLED IN 50 DIRECTIONS AT ONCE. SO MANY THINGS WERE OPENING UP FOR ME TO GO AND DO. I ASK THE LORD WHY DO I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO, AND WHY WERE SOME THINGS MOVING FAST AND SOME SLOW. HE SHOWED ME TWO THINGS.FIRST HE SAID,"LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS MICHAEL." BACK IN THE DAYS OF THE CALVARY ( EARLY ARMY ) IF THEY HAD A HORSE THAT COULD NOT BE GUIDED, THAT HORSE COULD NOT BE USED. SINCE HE WOULD NOT FOLLOW THE LEAD OF A RIDER HE MUST REMAIN IN THE CORRAL. THIS HORSE MAY BE BETTER QUALIFIED. HE MAY HAVE MORE STAMINA, BE ABLE TO RUN FASTER, AND ABLE TO JUMP JUMP FARTHER THAN ALL THE OTHER HORSES, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE GUIDED ALL THAT ABILITY WAS UNUSABLE. THIS MEANT OTHER NOT AS CAPABLE HORSES WERE SENT INTO BATTLE IN HIS PLACE. THE LORD SAID I WAS THAT HORSE FOR 26 YEARS, KEPT IN THE CORRAL, WHILE OTHERS WERE SENT OUT TO DO THEIR CALLING AND MY CALLING FOR WHICH I WAS EQUIPED. THEY HAD TO DO MORE BECAUSE I COULD NOT BE BRIDLED AND WOULD NOT FOLLOW THE REINS.SECOND THE LORD SHOWED ME A PICTURE. WHEN I GOT MY LIFE RIGHT WITH GOD AND WAS WILLING TO GO AND DO, AND BE LEAD AND GUIDED, I BECAME AS A HORSE SADDLED WITH MY CALL IN THE SADDLE BAGS, AND AS I GALLOPED ACROSS THE LAND I NOTICED SMALL BAGS TIED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE SADDLE BAGS BOUNCING AS I RODE. I ASK WHAT ARE THOSE? HE SAID THOSE ARE THE CALLS OF OTHERS THAT ARE AT HOME IN THE CORRAL. I MUST SEND THEM WITH YOU. YOU WILL PLOW THE FIELDS OF THEIR CALL UNTIL THAY CAN BE GUIDED AND LEAD. THAT IS WHY SOME THINGS HAVE GONE FAST OTHERS HAVE PLOWED THE FIELD UNTIL YOU WERE READY TO BE GUIDED AND APPLY THE ABILITY YOU WERE GIVEN FOR THIS CALLING. AND WHY SOME THINGS ARE SLOW IS BECAUSE IT'S ANOTHER FIELD YOU ARE PLOWING UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO TAKE OVER. YOUR SADDLE BAGS ARE FULL AND OVERFLOWING BECAUSE YOU CARRY YOUR CALL AND THE CALL OF OTHERS UNTIL THEY RIDE UP AND TRANSFER THE BAGS. WE CARRY THE CALL OF THOSE THAT HAVE NOT YET OR MAY NEVER GET BORN-AGAIN. AND WE CARRY THE CALL OF THOSE THAT ARE BORN-AGAIN, BUT ARE NOT ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO TRUST AND BE LEAD. THEY ARE STILL IN THE CORRAL. THAT'S WHY THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO. WE ARE DOING OUR PART AND THE PART OF THOSE STILL IN THE CORRAL AND THOSE THAT HAVE NOT EVEN MADE IT INTO THE ARMY YET.TRUST THE LORD. HE WILL NOT GUIDE YOU INTO A PLACE THAT HE HAS NOT EQUIPED YOU FOR. LET HIM TAKE THE REINS OF YOUR HEART.
