The Parable of the Horse and the Devil
A man tied his horse to a post. Later, the Devil came along and quietly set the horse free.
The horse wandered into a farmer’s field and began trampling the crops.
Furious, the farmer grabbed his rifle and shot the horse.
When the horse’s owner saw what happened, he became enraged. He took his own gun and killed the farmer out of revenge.
The farmer’s wife, seeing her husband dead, picked up an axe and killed the horse’s owner.
Then the owner’s son, driven by anger, killed the farmer’s wife.
The neighbors, horrified by the bloodshed, turned on the young man and burned his house to the ground.
When people asked the Devil why he had done all this, he replied calmly:
“I didn’t do anything. I only set the horse free.”
Moral:
The Devil doesn’t need to do much — just a small, innocent-looking act. The rest, we do ourselves.
He knows the evil already hiding in human hearts.
That’s why it’s so important to think before you act.
Remember: your words and your choices carry power.
Pause before you speak — and before you strike.
