Pursuit-the act of pursuing, an occupation or pastime. What could cause a person to be in pursuit? Is it the thrill of the chase? Is it tracking down that of importance or that which is missing? Is it a quest to discover what was lost? What is it that would cause a person to hunt and search for that which is lost? I believe it can be summed up in one word, "Love". When Love is at the heart of the pursuit there is no barrier which will prevent pursuing. When one is pursuing that which is sacred to the heart astonishing results happen. One is not deterred by obstacles; one jumps over them, swims through them or climbs around them to discover if what they were looking for is there. This is the Fathers heart; He is not deterred from meeting up with you. His pursuit is one of love.
When you are surrounded by love all you want to do is receive it, to be in its presence. There is no greater love than one who lays his life down for another. We have such a one who has done that for us, Jesus. His abiding presence is the pursuit of His heart for you. You see, in His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. Why not search for that presence? Something is blinding them from seeing, something is shouting louder in their ears, something is preventing them from reaching, something is choking them and they can't taste its goodness. What could prevent one from receiving joy or eternal pleasure? Selfish desires, always looking out for me. The god of this age has blinded many and he is seeking to devour them. There is a way out, Jesus.
Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me. You see one of my pursuits are the ways and the paths of the Lord Jesus. What does the Lord your God require of you? But to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good. That sounds like pursuit to me. If you desire to be in pursuit of the fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore be walking, serving, loving and fearing our mighty God.
Psalm 20
May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
May the name of the God of Jacob defend you
May He send you help from the sanctuary;
And strengthen you out of Zion;
May He remember all you offerings.
And accept your burnt offerings. Selah
May He grant you according to your hearts desire,
And fulfill all your purpose.
We will rejoice in your salvation,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.
Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand....
Why the discussion on Pursuit? Because without pursuing Him how will I know His ways? How will I know His paths for me? This is a passionate pursuit one in which will never end. Now to those of us in hot pursuit here is a link of an answer for our beloved in Honduras.
