Kinda stupid to think that we can out run God but so many times that’s what I do. Often I try to read God’s mind (as if that were possible) and “help Him out” by doing things or pushing for things that I think are what He has planned for me. For instance, I recently came across an opportunity that would give me satisfaction, self pride and fulfillment if I was able to do it. So I pushed and planned and hoped for weeks to no avail. The opportunity passed and I was left in a worse place than I was because in the planning and pushing for what I thought was a good idea for God to do I neglected my current responsibilities creating more work and headache for myself and family. I have a self-inflicted sickness of not being content with where God has me at the moment. For some reason I feel that the grass will defiantly be greener on the other side. “If only______ then we could _______” or “If I could do __________ then I would find fulfillment.” I seem to always overlook the scriptures that say to work with your hands, live a quite life and whatever you do do it as if working for the Lord.
