BUCKING CHRISTIANS I used to have a horse for cattle chas ing, that every time I wanted to go one way, he wanted to go another. When I had time to ride that horse, I would ride him. He could stand a hard trip, but the trip was about as hard on me as •it was on the horse. It meant a battle every time we came to the cross paths — about fifteen minutes of bucking and laying on the whip. That horse might turn around and say, “ Paul, I am your horse— ain’t I your horse?” ■ Yes, he was my horse, all right, but he wouldn’t mind. I had another little horse that would just wear himself right out go ing just as I wanted him to go. Which horse would I use when I couldn’t take a chance on any kind of bucking? The answer is easy. That little fellow was skinny all the time: I rode him so much; I was sure of him. You will find out in every church there are some folks just ridden to death; God can use them, and He can’t take time to fool with some of you buck- ers. He does not dare to put you at anything. You are full of nettles, and every time, God goes to puts you any where, you have so much objection, so much bucking, that He cannot afford to use you. I tell you, friends, God is look ing for men and women on whom He can lay a burden without a thousand objections. God help you to get to the place today where God can afford to trust you with His plan. God knows whether you are yielded or not. It doesn’t make any difference how many talents you have, or what kind of a person you think you are, God Himself knows whether He can use you, and the proof of your yieldedness is in raising the crop.B-Paul Rader.
