The Strong Pursuit Of God

Thursday, October 21, 2021

Esau was a hunter, but Jacob was a shepherd. Thus the Hebrew people were a nation of shepherds, not hunters. But Proverbs 21:21 says, "He who pursues righteousness and mercy finds life." The word pursues in Hebrew is radoph. Radoph also means to hunt. We are called to be hunters, not in the woods with a rifle, but hunting righteousness. We're to be a people who are in a godly pursuit, not just comfortable, maintaining where we are. God wants the people who are hungry for righteousness to never stop seeking Him. It's a hunt in which you will guaranteed success with because everyone who seeks Him finds Him. You're going to be blessed when you seek Him with all your heart. There's always more of God than you ever imagined. But you'll never find that more of God if you don't seek it, pursue it, and truly want it with all your heart. So get on your spiritual hunting gear and start hunting for God and his righteousness because the one who hunts after righteousness and mercy will find life.
