Are you facing a challenge today that may seem a little daunting? God wants you to know that His strength and power is there to defeat any worry or adversity. The God of the universe who created a magnificent Percheron horse in all its strength and horse power is still greater. When I see a little child riding such an enormous horse I think of how God is so enormously powerful and I see myself as that little child.
The Percheron is a breed of draft horse that originated in western France, the Perche province, from which the breed takes its name. Percherons are exceptional riding horses as they belong to a draft breed. They can be a great option for beginners to ride as the horses are very docile in nature and have a calm temperament. Sweet, tolerant, and easy going, these majestic horses are ideal for those who lack the experience of horse ownership. However, their average weight is anywhere from 1,900 to 2,100 pounds!

I have a friend who owns a draft horse and I asked her why she chose such a large horse to buy. She smiled and said, "The bigger the horse the smoother the ride."
My kudos to you today is to apply that concept to your challenges. The bigger the challenges you face the smoother your life ride will be as you trust God for His calmness to carry you through. He is our rescuer, our deliverer, and the protector of our souls. He provides the best ride in life when we saddle up with Him!
He gives strength to the weary, and to him who has no might He increases power. Even youths grow tired and weary...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength! Isaiah 40: 29-31 NIV
