The Thoroughbred or the Nag
By Rebekah McCausey
Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
I know the Bible says we are like sheep and Jesus is like the shepherd, but I’m not too keen on sheep so I think we have similar needs as horses. If you think about it we both need the same things to grow. It’s the basic stuff that every one needs like food, water, shelter, exercise, grooming, and companionship. Our spirits need the bible, food of the soul, Jesus, the living water, the solid rock of faith that protects us in the storm, other Christians to help us through, and most importantly God, the one who grooms us into perfection.
Do you see what I mean? We need all these things to keep us like a Thoroughbred waiting for the next race, and not as an old forsaken horse awaiting its final breath. As in real life the old horse is thin and weak, it can once again become fat and strong. With care, patience and love you too can be regenerated with God as the ultimate caretaker. What will you be, the Thoroughbred or the old horse? Will you allow the vet of the universe to help you?

If it’s in the Bible, The Pirate Preacher knows the story. The gospel he teaches and preaches is not his own nor is it the opinion and words of theologians and scholars who study Scripture as though God’s word is dead.
Rather, he receives teaching daily by revelation from the living Spirit of Jesus Christ.
Monday nights he leads a “Jesus Study” in Moore Square, Raleigh, NC. Each Sunday you will find him in the park and at the bus station helping others enjoy the abundant life Jesus promised. Our Lord says, “I came that you might have life and that you would have life in all its fullness.” (John 10:10) The Pirate Preacher believes we are to participate in making the fullness of Jesus complete in others.
The Pirate Preacher helped launch Christian Devotions Ministries and is the former CEO of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas, a Christian book publishing company. He’s also a Writers’ Coach.
