Wisdom from an Apple

As i am sitting on my sisters porch, i watch my niece-dog, Apple, laying in the grass. She sees the birds and little distractions around the yard and wants to go after them but she doesn't. She is very aware of everything around her. She seems very relaxed yet alert while she just waits and continues to look around. It reminds me of how God wants me to be with Him. RELAXED but on the look out. If... i go after everything little thing that catches my eye, all the distractions will begin to consume me. He tells me to relax in His presence and enjoy the things He has blessed me with but stay on the lookout for schemes of the enemy. I must stay alert for Scripture tells us that no one knows the time when Jesus will return. Isaiah 40:31--wait on HIM...we live by Faith...not by sight.... And then she sees the bird worth getting up for and off she goes!
