Wild goose chase

Wild goose chase

Is. 55: 8-9
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Pray the Word:
Lord, there aren’t many of us who haven’t, at one time or another, gotten stressed out over trying to figure out Your will for our life. It’s unsettling for us to not know where we’re where going and how we’re going to get there – so, in pursuit of trying to figure it out on our own, we embark upon what will certainly prove to be a WILD GOOSE CHASE!  .   .   .   it’s hard to imagine anything more doomed to failure than an attempt to CATCH A WILD GOOSE BY CHASING after it –  just the same, our effort to ‘figure it all out’ will end in a useless and often lengthy quest, only to realize that it’s beyond our reach. May we be able to look at our circumstantial uncertainty and see that this life is an incredible, exciting adventure involving uncertainty and risk – but it’s all under Your control!
