PERILOUS PURSUITS

As a teenager I felt pretty much indestructible, so as an ignorant city boy pumped with pride and adrenalin, I decided to chase a bull. Bad decision. Very quickly, the object of my pursuit became the source of my terror. Thankfully, I made it back to the fence, barely. The words of King David come to mind: “Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god”. We must be sober minded when it comes to what we pursue because we may catch it, or worse, it may catch up with us. Lord of All, there is safety and success in Your counsel. Lead me to the fields of Your choosing and deliver me from perilous pursuits.
