What are you chasing??? OR, what is chasing you??

Good morning everyone!!! I hope this is a great day in the Lord for YOU!!!!God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!! Isn't it great to be a child of God!!!
Proverbs 13:21 "Trouble chases sinners, while blessings reward the righteous." Do you need what you are chasing?? Don't look where you don't want to go!!! If it is complicated, it is part of the problem, if it is simple it could be part of the solution. Uncomplicated lives result in happiness. Decrease stress by not aiming at what you don't need.
Proverbs 4:23-27 "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straigt ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil."
Our heart, feelings of love and desire, dictates to a great extent how we live because we always find time to do what we enjoy. Solomon tells us to guard our hearts, making sure we focus on those desires that will keep us on the right path. Make sure your affections lead you in the right direction, putting boundaries on your desires. Don't chase everything you see, put on blinders, as does the racehorse, looking straight ahead and being totally focused on your goal. Don't let detours of sin sidetrack you.
So what are you chasing or what is chasing you?? Thank you for reading with me today. I just pray that this will touch someone as by printing this I, it, is only an instrument used by God. May we all be an instrument of God today and touch someones life for Jesus!! Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
