Well howdy friends! It's a sunny Thursday and I hope that you get a chance to enjoy the day that God made for you.
In Nehemiah 9:30-31 the prophet wrote these words, "Yet for many years You had patience with them, and testified against them by Your Spirit in Your prophets. Yet they would not listen; therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
Nevertheless in Your great mercy You did not utterly consume them nor forsake them; For You are God, gracious and merciful."
Nehemiah reminded God's people that the Lord had spoken repeatedly to his people through the prophets. The faithful prophets spoke as the Holy Spirit of God inspired them. God loved, blessed, and protected his people, yet they often ignored his will revealed through these faithful servants, the prophets. The people abandoned the Lord their God to their destruction! We need to determine that the same thing will never be able to be said of us! Let's pay attention to our God and to his Son, Jesus, whom the Father sent. Let's listen and obey the Holy Spirit whom the Lord Jesus poured out upon us and who is alive in us to guide us. The Spirit speaks to our hearts and through the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Spirit longs to guide us in the ways of our God.
Upcoming Events:
Our Horse Fun Show is TODAY! Right here at the Christ Rider's Arena. Registration starts at 9am and the show begins at 10:30. Even if you're not in the show, please come out and see the fun and encourage and cheer on the riders. An informational flier is attached.
Our Operation Christmas Child (OCC) Shoebox Packing Party will be on October 12th after church, and then the following Thursday evening as well. Friends, this is an opportunity for us to reach literally around the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
There will also be a Spooktacular Obstacle Challenge for you and your horse here at our Christ Rider's Arena on October 18th. This event challenges both the rider and their horse as they navigate assorted obstacles. It is a real test of their connection and a testament to the time spent in learning to communicate between horse and rider. Check out the attached flyer for more info.
Saddle & Shield plan to be here to present another of their excellent Despook Clinics next spring. Both a basic and an advanced clinic will be available. Please see Dona Fox for more information.
Fun Horse Stuff:
The world’s oldest horse stables were created by Ramses II, an Egyptian pharaoh in 1302-1237 BC. He used the stable to breed horses for war, recreation, and hunting. The stables were immense, covering over 180,000 square feet and housing 460 horses at a time.
