TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS

Snippet

The straightest line between me and satisfaction in life is obedience to God.

Scripture

Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices

    as much as in obeying the Lord?

To obey is better than sacrifice,

    and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,

    and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.

Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,

    he has rejected you as king.  1 Samuel 15:22,23

Becoming The Bull Atreyu

Come on!

Grab the bull by the horns the old adage goes.

Nobody tells you where to go from here.

Seems like fates pulling you.

Decisions have to be made.

The best path is the hardest earned.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.

Trying to keep a level head.

In the most unsettling of times.

Today I'll become the bull.

There is so much to stake.

I stumble, I lose my place.

Pride and arrogance surrounded by sin.

Destiny takes it's hold.

Fight it or let it go.

But I choose how the day will end.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.

Trying to keep a level head.

In the most unsettling of times.

Today I'll become the bull. [x2]

This walk can get lonely

I lose myself inside my head.

No one can touch you when you're outside staring in.

Remove myself from this rat race.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.

Trying to keep a level head.

The most unsettling of times.

Today I'll become the bull. [x5]

Sentence Prayer

Father;

Help me take the bull by the horns

for my own actions, and learn from Jesus

example to obey!  Holy Spirit when my spirit is weak and

the desire to sin strong, take the bull by the horns and keep

me in your will!  When I fall apply the blood of Jesus, so the Holy

Spirit can set me on my feet to continue to walk with you; always!

Amen
