Crying as they go

So they did this. They took two such cows and hitched them to the cart and penned up their calves. They placed the ark of the Lord on the cart and along with it the chest containing the gold rates and the models of the turnors.Then the cows went straight up toward Beth Shemesh, keeping on the road and lowing all the way, they did not turn to the right or to the left...... 1 Sam 6:10-12

Tonight devotion bring me to these verses. This reminded me of a book written by Susan Tsang - How to heal a broken heart. She wrote if animals which HE never died for, can forsake their natural desires and instincts in order to fulfill the holy duties, how much more must we?

Indeed, the daily struggles continues. The pains and hurts I have once buried, resurface time and again. Sometimes, I just feel that I need to put off my strong front and cry my heart out. But life must go on. It is only continously moving along with HIM, then I can I find daily strength to battle on. Only in HIM, then I can find healing.

Dear Lord,
As these cows are able to forsake their young to fulfill the holy duties, help me also to carry the cross daily. Remind me that those nails on Your Hand are for my sake. They are to deliver me from all my iniquities, sins and make me whole. Lord, help me to find strength in you when I am weak and lead me into Your arms once again for healing.......Amen
