In my many years of running, it was a 365 day relentless pursuit towards being better. Every ounce of my heart and soul was poured out into being the best runner I could be.
I think about that now as a husband and father. Am I pouring out myself sacrificially for them in the way I did for running?
Often times I miss the mark. But pursuing righteousness and integrity is something always worth pursuing. Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, we can honor God.
God, help me pursue excellence and righteousness in everything I do. Help myself and friends pursue You with our whole heart like Jeremiah 29:13 talks about. Help us keep running the Straight Race after You.
Psalms 26- Relentless Pursuit
I’ve run many miles
Chasing integrity with my strides
Prove me and try me God
For You have been my Guide
When I run, I feel your pleasure
My eyes are fixed on Your Faithfulness
I hurry away from evil men
Pushing aside those You do not bless
With loud shouts I proclaim You
Stopping everyone to hear
Your deeds are worth sharing
God of Jacob, in You I fear
Every mile is harder than the first
Yet, I’ll never stop pursuing what’s right
Be gracious to me Father
I’ll never leave Your sight
