What we pursue

Some seek chariots, and some seek horses.
But we call upon the name of the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:7, 2017 New Japanese Bible)

I really like the Japanese translation here.

It made me think, “What do I seek? What do I pursue? Especially when it comes to what I feel will give me security?”

In those days, kings sought after chariots or horses for their armies. That’s what gave them their sense of security.

For a lot of us, it’s money that makes us feel secure.

But for David, God was his source of security. That’s why he so earnestly sought after God every day.

That’s the kind of heart I desire: a heart that daily pursues Him.

How about you?

What are you pursuing?
