Are you a goose or Gull?

I was really annoyed with myself last night.
It wasn't going away, and I was so frustrated that others were succeeding.
And. it all started with being insecure, in what I thought was everything.
I was sulking, and was just thinking about my friends success.
God tells us in his word that he's there, and in Lamentations, 3:25 says.
"The Lord, is good for those whose hope is in him to the one who seeks him.''
Lamentations, is a book about lamenting, about how life really is like for the Israelites.
Seeking God, is laying down all the walls that we've built.
Personally, it's laying down the walls of my pride, of all the things I've kept tabs on.
All the things about work, and why it's not coming to me.
However, we can get all caught up about success that sometimes we miss the point.
I was angry, because my Dad said last night, ''well just enjoy, having nothing to do.''
Bless him, I wasn't I already made up my mind not to enjoy my time, I was born to fight, to get the most out of everything.
And I'm going to get it.
So I went to bed, angry, frustrated, and annoyed that God hadn't come though for me yesterday.
Then i heard on the radio Chuck Swindol. who spoke about sea gulls, and geese.
He spoke about a story, that goes like this.
 It's for those people who seem like they're flying alone.
His friend was in a car, watching sea gulls, as he was watching, one sea gull was above his car, swooping up and down with the wind, and his friend thought.
''Wow, how great is that, that gull is flying alone with out a care in the world.'' then the gull swooped down, onto his mates that had a piece of meat, all off sudden that gull pecked and pecked until that gull had died, and the gull that was flying alone had the meat, then the other gulls came along trying to it it off him.
Then he saw a flock of geese flying.
They were flying in formation, that scientists, have done some research on them.
In flying in formation, they fly for longer periods, and go the distance, they all have turns flying in front, it one goes down, for a rest on the ground, 3-4 geese fly down, to cheer it on, and have a break.
Even their hooking scientists think that by their communication, it spurs them on, to where they are going.
Each flock of geese, have short frequent breaks.
Do you see it my friends?
The gulls don't really care, they are just after a quick fix.
The geese on the other hand see the long distance plan.
If you want to fly by yourself, and want to be free to do your own thing,  try it, but you won't get very far.
I'm not saying you have to be under the iron rod of God, or under some sort of revolution rule.
You need to seek him, and by seeking him you have to go into Lamenting stage, when you come out of that, you'll see how good God is.
Even if you think you're flying alone or think you're free God is there with you.
God never comes in by force, he never jams anything down your throat.
He does want people to be productive where, he wants people to work in.
If you've got work, good, work with all your heart.
If you're waiting, keep waiting, good things come to those who wait, and are pure, in heart.
If you're coming out of your cocoon, this is exciting, because God knows your ready for the next thing.
My advice, is enjoy what you're doing, enjoy your time.
And fly like a goose, looking out for the weaker ones in your flock, not like the sea gull that keeps peeking, at things just for short term fixes.
