“Turn from evil and do good, and you will live in the land forever.” Psalm 37:27 NLT
Dogs cannot vote, but I did today. I voted in hopes of improving my community and country. But Famous can elect whether or not he chooses to obey me. One of the hardest decisions for him is whether or not to abandon his freedom if he is off leash in the yard and I am requesting for him to come inside. He will try to ignore me, gazing off into infinity, pondering all the possibilities that running off on his own could afford him . Then, he will look up at me holding the front door open for him and choose independently to join me in the shelter of our home.
There are times when our hearts may wonder away from God, trying to imagine the possibilities of living life according to our own designs as prodigal children caught up in our own self-worth. If we are wise, we will abandon those temptations, understanding our Father understands the true desires of our hearts, and return to the shelter of his arms.
Dear Father, help me always to attempt to see Your loving desire to bring me into Your kingdom.
