Say this with me: "I got issues. You got issues. All God's children got issues!"
A few years back, I went to my first football game live and it reminded me of one of my favorite Bible stories about a woman with issues.
But more about that in a moment.
Now, 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 my husband 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 takes you longer than you thought, your desire will drive you on.
You will not stop pursuing
until you get what you want.
The woman with the issue of blood in the Bible had serious issues. However, she pursued her healing.
Because she did
not give up, she got it.
She knew about the power of pursuit.
