It is pretty cool to attend
a team roping school and personally get to meet some of the great team
ropers of our time. They are the ones we want to fashion our team roping
after. When we lead our horse into the arena and you hear your instructor
say, "Hello I'm Rickey Green or Tyler Magnus or Jake and Clay";
you feel humbled and privileged to be there. At that moment you become
equals, for as they are credited for being the teachers, you have no less
credit for being a student. You feel as though you are part of a team.
The instructors will often use training aids, so your understanding of
what they are trying to get across, becomes clearly visible.
The point I am trying to make is that we are the children of God. He is
our Father. He has pledged His love to you with instructions on how to
learn and prosper from that instruction. His training aid is the Holy
Bible and is the only true Word of God. The Bible is what you must study
to understand what the Lord expects you to accomplish from His instruction.
By studying you become part of the Christian team.
Matthew 7:7-8
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock
and the door will be open to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he
who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. NIV
1 Thessalonians 4:1-2
1Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God,
as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus
to do more and more. 2for you know what instructions we gave you by the
authority of the Lord Jesus. NIV
On completion of the roping school, we must take our instruction
home with us and practice or little is accomplished.
As is with the reading of the Bible, if we do not constantly stay in the
Word, we do not grow in his Word. This is the full intention of His instruction.
ENJOY LIFE.... ENJOY ROPING.... LOVE THE LORD!
