What’s Chasing YOU?

Day 100 of Photo Inspirations — What’s Chasing You?

This photo is my youngest grandson being chased up a tree by a harmless Billy goat.  It seems quite terrifying to me, but my grandson appears to be totally enjoying himself. It must be because he knows that Billy goat is a pet – not a predator.

Once upon a time, I day-dreamed AND night-dreamed about a cute dark haired, dark eyed boy chasing me.  I couldn’t get him off my mind AND neither did I want to. And, that dream came true!  I was chased and caught!  And, I’m so glad I was!

This photo of my grandson sparked my thoughts about the not-so-good-things that chase us — like those negative thoughts “You can’t make it!  You’re not good enough! You’re too old or too young!  Life is too hard!  You’re just too tired!  You’ve failed too many times!  You’ll never get well.”  When those thoughts come chasing you, keep running as fast as you can — refuse those lies — you sure don’t want them catching YOU!

On the flip side – let those optimistic, positive, and joy-filled thoughts chase you down and overtake you.  Like my grandson’s smiling face with that Billy goat, you’ll be so empowered by the greatness in you, NOTHING will be able to slow you down on your way to the TOP!

Here’s the best medicine for those good things to chase us and over take us…..”Him I will keep in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on ME”  Isaiah 26:3.  “And all these blessings shall come upon you and OVERTAKE you, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God.”  Dueteronomy 28:2
