I AM THE OLD OX- I FEAR NO EVIL
King David said in the Psalms that he was once a young man but now was old.
In that time, he had never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread. This was the observation of an old ox.
During the Bible days, they would train a new ox in the discipline of pulling the plow. They would put that young 400-pound ox in the same yolk as a 2000-pound old ox. The old ox knew the system, understood the commands of the master, and was dedicated to the purpose that the master had in mind.
The young ox still had it in his mind to run and play. But now he was yoked to an old ox, much stronger than he. Now, instead of going, only the young ox had to do with the old ox was obeying the master's direction.
This system of discipline continued until the young ox was trained to follow the direction of the master so that the job could be completed.
I quoted David's Psalm when I was 20 years old, thinking that I had arrived at some plateau of wisdom, only to discover I was still the young ox.
What did God do?
He put me in the same yoke of an old oxen. Better referred to as mature men and women of God, who became mentors and trainers as I grew up in the Lord.
At one point in my journey, I had been traveling as an evangelist for 15 years when God yolked me down with a man of God. For the next two years, wherever the old ox went, I had to go, even though, at times, I disagreed with his decisions.
In those two years of being tied together, I was being trained for the next 40 years. At the time, I had no idea what God had in mind; thank the Lord he did.
Over the following decades, I could hear the voice of the old ox as I went through situations that needed wisdom and understanding. Somehow, in those discipline years, God worked into my spirit, the spirit of the old ox.
So today, I can say, like David of old, that now I am an official Old ox.
