Knight on Horse


I went to a church prayer thing yesterday. In the afternoon I had the chance to be prayed for and wasn't certain it was a good idea. But I had a vision of my friend Steve walking into battle surrounded by these other men and took it as a sign that the men present needed to pray for me. I shared the picture in my mind, so Steve was asked to pray. He started reading his journal from that morning. He had a vision of himself riding in from battle wounded, dirty, exhausted. He came home to the castle, rescued someone, and left again clothed in new armor, new energy, and an army of men following him. I had seen the last part of his vision.

I looked up and expected to see Steve standing at 6'5", hugely muscular, and with a dangerous Clint Eastwood gleam in his eye. I saw just regular Steve and realized that he's not a leader of men because he's a human giant. He's just the bravest one who would take on tasks no one else would step into. I hope this is all realized for Steve, the bravest anglican man.
