Futile

Herding cats
Relying on the weather forecast
Gardening with deer and bunnies watching….

All futile:  pointless, ineffective, unprofitable

Those examples are so easy to label as futile, although we keep trying to accomplish them…..but I’m not one to try and tell a cat to do anything!

The easy ones don’t trip me up (as often) as the more subtle thieves of worry, envy, bitterness, etc….except for the intervention of God!  Earlier today God very quickly changed my futile thoughts of fretting to songs of praise to Him after I laid it all down before Him.  Because I know God, I can go to Him, lighten my heart, surrender my futile thoughts and exchange them for thanks in glorifying Him!

Do you know God?  Do you glorify Him?  Give thanks to Him?

“For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.”  Romans 1:21
