I was watching a horse program where a trainer was teaching a horse to lay down. This takes a great deal of trust on the horse's part, to be willing to be vulnerable to a human predator. Most horses are very resistant in the beginning, struggling with the trainer and hopping around, trying to maintain their upright position. Only through complete trust in the trainer can the horse give in to the ...cue to lay down and stay down. He eventually learns to find peace and rest in this position, and the trainer can even join the horse for a time of relaxation. Are we willing to give in to God's cue to rest? Or are we afraid to be vulnerable? There is peace and rest and fellowship waiting for us when we stop resisting His cue. Time to re-read Psalm 23.
