Pursuing Something or Someone Instead of The One

How would you define the word PURSUIT?

Dictionary.com gives us a couple different definitions depending on how the word is used: to follow close upon; go with; to strive to gain; seek to attain or accomplish; to chase after someone or something; to follow…

Do any of those words or phrases or definitions describe your relationship with Jesus? Tough, right? In your face, right? Believe me, I understand. I totally get it. These questions aren’t just directed at you, they’re directed specifically at me.

Am I in PURSUIT of God?
Are you?

Think about that today. Let this thought, this question bounce around inside you for a while. I pray it inspires and motivates and challenges both you and I to take our relationship with God a bit more serious.

Who or what have you pursued in the past? Who or what are you pursuing in the present? What does it look like to pursue God? Where’s God in your priorities?

This Friday at Celebrate Recovery the band will introduce the song “Pursuit” by Jesus Culture and Martin Smith.
