Waiting in the Land of Milk and Honey

 Tonight while RJ played football with the church guys, I decided to see if the horse pasture was opened. The other day I went to see the horses it was closed off due to the storm. Today when I drove by, it was open but all I saw was an empty field. I decided to drive to the horse stables and see if they were there. There is another field and there were horses, but they were not “my” horses. I stayed with these horses for a while and decided I would head back to where RJ was playing ball. As I headed to my car I felt a gentle tug and whisper from the Lord to go back to the original field and meet Him there. So, I drove back to the field and parked my car and got out. I went to a part that was not flooded and just said out-loud- “Lord, I’m here, hello.” I heard the sound of running hoofs. From way behind the trees “my” horses came running. The sweetest presence of the Lord surrounded me. Today’s sermon came to my memory. God brought me to a place of milk and honey. I’m only just beginning to get a taste of the sweetness He has prepared. As the horses greeted me tears ran down my face.  I need to be patient and trust Him. If I had waited earlier and not left looking, I would have known that what I had come for was already there, I just had to ask and let God do the rest. God is good.
