Being yoked with Jesus isn’t always safe. Don’t mistake what I’m saying. Jesus is safe…but he’s also wildly adventurous and isn’t afraid of going places you never would have chosen to go. It can be a crazy ride!! Scary, even. He doesn’t mind taking seemingly out-of-control runs through deep waters and dark valleys. The comforting thing is that you’re yoked to him. He will never leave you. He even knows the way and his footing is secure. In fact, he’s the only secure part of these whirlwind rides.
I think the point of these wild runs is to teach us that we can trust him even when we feel so out of control. He’s always in control…and we never were. But being yoked to him is our security, our safety. And we learn. We learn that he is safe even when these hard, scary places aren’t. Our only safe place is being yoked to him.
