Yesterday, I went to my first football game live. This game reminded me of one of my favorite Bible stories. I’m not a football fan and barely understand it. However, a friend of ours gave us free tickets. Plus, one of the college players attends our church.
So Mike and I decided to go to cheer him on.
This young man is a linebacker on his team. His job
is to pursue the man with the ball on the other team. Although the opponent would try to outmaneuver him, our young man did not stop pursuing until he got his prey.
His pursuit illustrated an important point for me: “Pursuit is proof of desire.”
If you want something badly enough, you will pursue it. Even if your pursuit is a “slow-speed chase,” and it takes you longer than you thought, your
desire will drive you on.
You will not stop pursing until you get what you want.
One woman in the Bible pursued something she wanted. Because she did not give up, she received it.
She knew about the power of pursuit. I wrote about 7 things you can learn from her to ensure you get ALL God has for you.
