Mention horses and warriors and images
of gallant solders in iron clad suite waging war with shields, swords
and spears comes to mind. I'm pretty sure that is similar to the
pictures that John was seeing in the events that unfolded in
Revelations 6.
We cannot with absolute certainty
declare the meaning of the many seals mentioned, but one thing is
clear and that is that there is a battle for souls taking place on
this earth. None of the calamities mentioned are new to the human
experience. What we can see for sure is that there is one horse and
rider with a crown who is waging a war for our souls. His name is
Jesus.
How does that help me if I'm stuck in
traffic, late for work and feeling stressed out? It helps because I
know someone else is out there fighting the real spiritual battles
for me so I can put my head down, work hard and do my utmost to
deliver my best and hopefully with as little complaining as possible.
We are told in life to pick our battles
and this is where it counts. When the chips are down, you can easily
get discouraged, frustrated and down right angry, but going down that
path does not lead to victory. If we make up our mind to focus
forward on what is important then we can rise above all, deliver our
best and conquer our world!
