Two Horses Walk into a Field—Only One Has a Bell
Manage episode 509446279 series 3324280
Start your day with a clear mind and a grounded heart. We explore what it means to be led, not driven—drawing on the Good Shepherd picture from Scripture and a vivid story of two horses, one blind and one wearing a bell. Together, they show how steady guidance outperforms constant striving, and how small, consistent cues can bring us back to safety, nourishment, and peace when life feels loud.
We break down the power of recognition—“My sheep hear my voice”—and offer practical ways to build that habit in real time: short, focused moments in scripture, honest prayer that calms the nervous system, and everyday pauses that help you tell the difference between urgency and wisdom. You’ll hear how protection isn’t just about escaping danger but also about being led toward green pastures and still waters—inputs that actually feed your soul. The two-horses story anchors it all in a memorable image: you don’t need perfect vision to take the next right step; you need a trustworthy sound to follow.
If you’re navigating decisions, facing subtle pressures, or simply craving a gentler start to the morning, this five-minute reflection offers practical guidance and spiritual encouragement you can use today. We keep it simple, sincere, and actionable, so you leave with a clear question to carry: what voice am I following right now?
