The Grass is Always Greener

The other day I saw a goat trying to get the grass on the outside of his fence. He was almost flat on his belly, and his neck was stretched and strained. It was a sight, and must have been quit uncomfortable for him.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Soon his owner would come out to feed him, and  the meal would probably be way more delicious and healthy for him. He shouldn't have been reaching for what he couldn't have-that which wasn't meant for him.

Sometimes we are like that. We think we know what's best, and we do everything in our power to make it happen. If we would just wait and be patient,  we may find God has something better in store for us.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Are you patiently trusting and waiting on God today, or are you desperately trying to get to the grass on the other side of the fence? Spend your time in God's word, seeking His will, and then the grass will be greener on your side of the fence!
