Just because we were walking closely with God yesterday does not necessarily mean we are enjoying that same relationship today. God is at work in the world around us. He is on the move. We cannot stay where we are and go with God at the same time.
That is why we must follow hard after God. Where God goes; we go. Our soul longs for Him. Our soul thirsts for God. Our soul knows that it must remain in God’s presence if it is to thrive. So it follows hard after God.
Our reward is that when we follow after God, He upholds us with His mighty right hand. God’s right hand symbolizes His strength. It is in His powerful hands that He holds us. We may be the ones pursuing Him, but He is the One who is holding us.
If you feel under pressure or assaulted by your enemies, the key is to follow hard after God. Now is not the time for a casual pursuit! God will not be found with a lackadaisical search. It must be a fervent search. It must be a pursuit that realizes all will be lost if we do not find our way into God’s strong hand.
How desperately are you seeking God today?
