WHO IS FOLLOWING YOU?
Thousands of years before Twitter, the Psalmist wrote "...surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life..."
Sometimes
you
can tell a lot about someone by their Twitter followers.
So...who's following you?
The Psalmist illustrated
the
relentlessness of God's mercy in Psalm
23. The Hebrew word
that he used for "follow" is primarily a military term. It is
used in the context of one army pursuing another army. It
means:
"to chase, follow, hunt, pursue, to run after."
It
doesn't matter who you are
today or how far away from God you may have walked, the Mercy of God is
still pursuing you. No matter how hard you try to get away,
you
cannot out maneuver the mercy of God. You may try to slip
away,
but it will follow and pursue.
David
cried out after a God
that ruthlessly pursued him, "Where shall I go from your
spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?"
Who
is following you?
Do
you feel as
though you're being pursued by the enemy? Do you feel as
though
life and circumstance have put you between the proverbial rock and a
hard place? Do you think there's no way out?
"I
will look to the hills! From whence cometh my help?
My help
cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth!"
There's
another pursuer behind the enemy. And when God shows up, all
enemies have to leave.
So...who's
following you?
