As God is teaching me to slow down, I realize that I have spent my entire life in hot pursuit of one thing or another. As a kid, I pursued sports. I was small and not too tough, but I was fast. I wanted to play football and basketball so bad, I could taste it. So I made it my mission to become the best athlete I could be. As I’ve shared before, it wasn’t a natural fit and I had to work at it very hard. Because of my passionate pursuit and hard work, I started to get recognition for my efforts. That recognition felt really good and I craved more. Everytime that someone said I couldn’t do something, I wanted to prove them wrong so I could get more kudos! I am now realizing that I have been in a pursuit mode ever since. What in the world are you pursuing?
TweetJames 4:4 (NIV)
4:4 You adulterous people,don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
