The Red Sea Drifter
The Red Sea Drifter is based on the parable of the wheat and the tares found in Matthew 13:24-30.
When the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, they had wandered in the desert for 40 years. They had good and bad times. They grumbled against God, and they praised Him. They met good people and troublesome people. Through all these things, God guided them until they reached the promise land.
We have similar circumstances in our own lives. We experience good and bad times, but God still guides us through life until we meet Him in the promise land.
The tooling on this saddle is the wheat and the tare. The wheat plant is the nourishing plant that gives life in many different ways. In contrast, we have the tare plant which is more than just as weed. The tare, according to the bible dictionary, is a plant that if mistakenly eaten, will cause convulsions and even death. When the wheat and tares are found growing together, it is very difficult to tell them apart until they are fully mature. Even then it is next to impossible to remove the tares without removing the life-giving wheat also.
Sin in our lives as well as temptations and tempters we meet in our lives produce the same effects as the tares. Our Father in heaven can't remove them without removing some of the wheat also, but rejoice for the harvest is near.
