Think About It
Come Ride With Me
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
A number of years ago I came home with the song “Come Ride With Me” resonating in my heart. When I got home, I told my wife that I believed God was directing me to minister to a specific group of motorcycle riders. I also felt that I needed to buy a specific brand to ride to accomplish this dream. I went to my local bank and told the loan officer all that was on my heart. I shared that not only did I need the money for the cost of the bike, but I also needed extra money for the tax, title, and registration fees. After listening to my story, he quickly responded they would be glad to loan me the money and if I needed more then to simply ask. I remember when we walked out of that office I was more than elated and excited to embark on this new ministry adventure, and an adventure it was.
Over the next several years I traveled from Maine to Florida and as far west as the Rocky Mountains. When I finally retired that motorcycle, it was a few miles short of 100,000 miles. Some of those miles represented long hours in the saddle as there were times that I spent 18 straight hours getting to a rally. Was it worth it? Oh yes, I will never regret that decision or that call in that time of my life.
So why am I telling you this? Simply because I’m in a place that I feel there is a new wind blowing. Both my wife and I sense this as a pivotal time in our life and ministry. I don’t believe it is unique to us for I believe that we all sense it from time to time, but we all don’t understand its significance. Consequently, we don’t respond to it but instead chalk it up to being just an odd feeling. It reminds me of what Jesus said in Matthew 16:3, “You know the saying, Red sky at night men’s fair weather tomorrow, red sky in the morning means foul weather all day. You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret signs of the times?” Why is that? Personally, I want to be tuned to the still small voice of God for when He speaks it’s in volumes. My challenge for each of us is to follow the wind of God whenever and wherever it blows.
