Uncommon Gifts (Part 2)

3. If the person you are riding with is falling -- you are falling. There is no way to stay aboard the horse if the person holding onto your waist is off the horse. Too often in life we think we are enough to keep everything together for everyone, we aren't. Lesson 3: Make sure the people around you are people you want to fall with. As Solomon said: The companion of fools will be destroyed.
4: Sometimes you are simply a projectile missile, unable to change course or do anything except cushion your fall. In life too, sometimes you just get bucked off. The danger is not seeing what is coming next. You got to open your eyes and look up to make sure the horse isn't coming down on top of you. Lesson 4: When you fall (or everything falls around you) open your eyes and look up toward Jesus. As Solomon said: For this is man's all.
