Pursue!

Pursue!

Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love will find life, righteousness, and honor. Proverbs 21:21 NLT

Human nature abhors a vacuum. At no time is the human mind able to comprehend idleness and inactivity. At every point in time in our lives, we are actively/passively pursuing something or being pursued by something. This is where the power of choice and the understanding of God's will for my life become very important. Let this truth be known: your pursuits will always be determined by your priorities. You do not need to convince me about the things you consider important; I will see it from the decisions you make daily.

As always, there is a choice between two extremes: God or the devil. You cannot sit on the fence on this one. Both are eternal in view and in consequence. Before I make the choice, I have the power to gather as much information as I can on what each choice entails. As soon as the choice is made, the consequences are sealed, unless I make another choice. Do I know what I am getting into? Have I searched out the author of all wisdom, in order to know what He wants for me and where I will end up? These questions are so fundamental to my eternal destiny.

Your pursuits will always bear fruit; good or bad. In this case, if you pursue God's nature of righteousness and love, you reap all of God, which includes his life, his nature of righteousness and honour. You get blessed down here, as well as sealed hope for the future. Let no one deceive you: it is God's law that as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will not cease. As long as God remains God, his law will never be broken. If you want a particular kind of harvest, then you have to work on the seed you sow. His time of favour is here.
