Greetings,
We read In Joshua 3:2-3 (NKJV) – “So it was, after three days, that the officers went through the camp; [3] and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and GO AFTER IT.”
In this life, we pursue many things: dreams, careers, health, promotions, finances, pleasure, and the woman or man we believe God has chosen for us. Once we set our sight on these earthly things, we refuse to let them go. That’s a good thing, because you will not find, until you begin to seek.
But what about desiring God? He wants us to pursue Him, too! We speak of His love being so relentless, He chases after us; but the wise person will also pursue Him. Israel was instructed that when they saw the Ark of God, which was the earthly symbol of His manifest Presence, they should “go after it!”
Father, teach us to be “God-chasers.” We want to pursue You with thirsty hearts until Your Living Waters have quenched the thirst of our souls. We never want to stop chasing You, God, because Your lovingkindness is better than life!” (Psalm 63:3, NKJV).
Today, I’m worshiping with Big Daddy Weave and “I’m Overwhelmed.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
