Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you. Psalms 32:9 (NIV)
People without God are compared to horses or donkeys which need forceful and often pain inflicting external methods of getting them to move and do what their owners want.As a child of God you can follow Him from inside your heart on the path of life and success freely and effortlessly. This is possible because the Spirit of God lives in us and so He leads and guides us from within our spirit.You shouldn’t first face or get into hardships and then struggle to find a way out.What’s happening around you, or to you, shouldn’t be your guide or drive.Don’t follow emotions or reasoning. Don’t act in response to pressure, problems, or what people are saying.Let God gently but firmly lead you in His Word and from your heart.
