What is it that you are chasing after in life? What are your expectations of what you will receive once you catch up to what you are chasing?
Know this, the object of your pursuit is evident by how you are living your life. If you are pursuing a state of intoxication, then your days and thoughts will be consumed by how you will obtain alcohol and drugs. If your pursuit is that of lust, then your days will be spent longing for the things that satisfy the flesh. If your pursuit is wealth and prestige, then you will lack fulfillment as wealth has no limits and you will find yourself exhausted and burned-out.
However, if your pursuit is for the heart of God, then with each day that you seek Him, your life will be made better, your outlook will become positive, your attitude will be that of victory and your spirit will be renewed. You see, as you pray and read God’s Word, things begin to change. Seeds of righteousness are planted. Seeds of hope are planted. Seeds of Salvation take root and seeds of love grow in you and that same love flows out of you!
There are many things that can be pursued, but there is only "The ONE THING" that when you make up your mind to chase after, it immediately blesses you...that is the pursuit of our Heavenly Father and The Kingdom of God!
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but ONE THING I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV)
