At the dog races they have a lure called a mechanical rabbit that runs along a rail. At the race the dogs line up and chase this rabbit around the track and no one ever catches it. When the next race comes the dogs line up again and chase this rabbit. Even if they were to catch it they would find it made of hard plastic and not nearly as satisfying as they thought. Many of us each day line up and chase an uncatchable rabbit. Success, money, career, it is all well and fine but has to be in balance. God has given His people wisdom, knowledge and joy and not merely the drudgery of gathering and collecting. If your main focus is on these things, when you finally catch it you will be disappointed. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will then give you the desires of your heart. Do not fall into the rut of chasing a mechanical rabbit day after day while running past the important things in life.
