I may have mentioned before about my dream of being chased by a guy with a fork. It was when I was younger, maybe a tween, and I dreamt of a guy chasing me with a fork. In the dream, I knew he was going to try to kill me with that fork, and I ran and ran. To make a long story short, I made it safely back to my parents' house, just to see him kick in the front door, holding a spoon. And, the pursuit began again.
Ever feel like you're being chased? It seems that we are constantly being pursued: schedules, deadlines, monthly bills, etc. It can be overwhelming at times if we only focus on the bad things that are pursuing us. However, if we will sit down for a second and really dig into things, we will find that we are being pursued by some really good things as well.
Today's word is Proverbs 13:21, NLT, which reads, "Trouble chases sinners, while blessings reward the righteous."
I can look back at my life and see times that I was being pursued by all the wrong things because I was doing and pursuing all the wrong things. It isn't hard to see that I was attracting what I was emitting. We have a saying around our house that we have really tried to instill in the youth: "Trash in = Trash out". If you find yourself being pursued by all the wrong things, maybe it is time to really evaluate what you are pursuing.
On the other hand, if you are striving to do GOD'S will, you will find good things pursuing you. Now, that is not to say that there won't be bad things chasing you, that's not to say that you won't have bad things happen, it is to say that despite that, if you will really look around, you will see the blessings that are chasing you and the ones you are chasing.
