To Run
I choose today to run… I love that the Word of God is alive! David illustrated this so beautifully in his prayer to God when he says, ”As those out to get me come closer and closer, they go farther and farther from the truth you reveal; But you’re the closest of all to me, God, and all your judgments true. I’ve known all along from the evidence of your words that you meant them to last forever.” Psalms 119:149-152 MSG (I chose the MGS version for vs 149). They’re so much to unpack here. In verse 149, David talks about King Saul coming after him. Saul is being consumed by his own pride and jealousy that it is taking him further and further away from God and His will. That is what happens when sin is left untouched, unresolved, unrepented; it festers, becomes all-consuming, and draws us further and further from God and His will for our lives! That is what happened to Saul, God’s favor left him and he was driven by his all-consuming sin. That was the beginning of the end for Saul. We need to heed the warning the angel of the Lord gave to Lot
