When I was younger, I used to think it was kinda fun to have some ol' renegade cow around just to keep life interesting. I have come to realize that disposition on cattle is an economic trait, not just a convenience trait. I have come to realize that ol' renegade is just of no good use to me. I'll cull her in a heartbeat. You folks all know her. Shut the corral gate, and she goes berserk. She'll run up & down the fence head up high, looking for a way over, then down low shoving, trying to push her way under. You can't show her an open gate, cause she is busy trying to build one of her own. I like an ol' quiet cow that trusts me. I can show her what I want, and get her to do it. If I feed her, her head goes down & she starts doin her thing (which benefits me and her), while the ol' renegade is watchin to be sure I ain't doin nothin that will hurt her. She is so busy protectin herself, that she is apt to hurt both of us. I am ashamed to admit it, but sometimes when the Lord is trying to get me to see an open door that maybe I haven't ever gone through, I get a little like ol' renegade. I'll start shovin an pushin, wringing my hands & worrying bout "how am gonna get out of this one?" If I'll just draw a deep breath and look to Him, I'll see what He is expecting of me, an find out that I like it and that it will usually benefit both of us. Yep folks, I have a Master that I can trust(even though I sometimes fail to). He is trustworthy! You all have a good Sunday mornin and a good rest of the week.
