Riding The Horse Backward by ...nate jones

I do not know what lies ahead. But I know Who holds the reins. And I know what He has already done. That is enough."

There is a secret I have carried for a long time — one that may sound foolish, even scandalous: I asked the Lord to let me ride facing backward.

I told Him honestly: "If I saw everything You mean to lead me through, I would snatch the reins. I would turn away. So let me see only where You have already brought me — and trust You with what comes next."

This is the story of that choice.

It is about Eternity — the one-of-a-kind gift entrusted to every life.

It is about the reins — freedom of choice, and who truly controls our destiny.

It is about the heart — deceitful, desperately wicked, yet offered a new one.

It is about the backward saddle — the humble admission: I cannot see the road, but I know the Rider.

And finally — it is about the shore — the day the Father hands over the reins and says: "Well done. Now ride forward forever."

For anyone who fears what lies ahead… for anyone who has learned that faith is not seeing the way — but knowing the Waymaker.
