WHAT ARE YOU PURSUING?

When you think about it, we are pursuing something almost all day long.  What I have to do to plan supper, get those things out and decide what time we eat etc.  You need to call someone.  You have housework, or a client to call back.  Some like to think I know where every bathroom is between here and Florida.  We are looking for employment, a new friends telephone number, getting a grandchild something for their birthday.  Should I volunteer for church greeter, the kids department, parking attendant, sound technician, part time job. . .you get my drift.

We can probably say we make a lot of those decisions on our own.  What would happen if I didn't put anything in front of Jesus on any given day.  What if I said. . ."Lord Jesus, I am considering doing such and such, is this what you want me to do?"  "Would it bring honor, glory, and truth to You and me to do this?"

I propose that if you seek a pursuit let Him shed the light on it if He wants it.  If He does not, He'll change your heart's desire.

Psalm 37 4: 7.  But in particular 4:  Delight yourself also in the Lord and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.

I also like 5 because it talks about how do we do this. . .Commit your way to the Lord (roll and repose each care of your load on Him); trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.

Keeping in mind here, that if you have a pursuit and it seems really real to you, then process it with the Lord.  That is what He wants every day fro us anyway.  I have experienced Him changing my mind and desire about that pursuit.  I am also convicted to tell you that I have gone on and done what I wanted to do.  No big surprise to some of you.  It turned out badly.  Not doing that anymore.

In these very cautious and precarious days, it is time for us to Pursuit only Him, and anything in between.

PROCESS IT ALWAYS WITH YOUR ONE AND ONLY COUNSELOR!  JESUS CHRIST!
