Prayer Room #3 - Pursuit

"And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding".  Jeremiah 3:15

   The highest pursuit we can give ourselves to is the pursuit of the knowledge of God.  Our picture of God affects everything in our life.  It affects the way we see God, ourselves, and others.  So when we devote the rest of our lives to pursuing who God is, what he is like, his loves, etc. we are actually shaping our future.  We must devote the rest of our lives to seeking, pursuing, digging, struggling, and searching for the knowledge of God.  "Oh the depths of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God.." Romans 11:33

   For the rest of my life I devote myself to pursuing His personality, His passions/emotions, His plan, and His power.  There is no ending of these pursuits.  When given eternity it still feels to small of a time to search every nook, turn over every rock.  How I desire this journey!  May every footfall be filled with humility and hunger.
   O compassionate King, how I need you.  I pray that you stoke and increase this desire inside me.  That I may know you!  Daily would my knowledge of you increase.  Father satisfy my soul with the beauty of Your Son.  I can only be satisfied one way, I was made for this pursuit.  Father today I made a commitment to you.  One that I will do my best to keep all the days of my life.  May you give me the grace to press through and run hard after You.  Jesus I love and desire to have my life hinge on your passions.  What you Love, help me to love.  What you hate, cause me to detest.  Your emotions are so important to me!  I love you! I need you!  Jesus Come! Amen
