Job was a God chaser. He said, "Oh that I knew where I might find
Him!" David was one; he said, "My soul followeth hard after Thee." Paul
was one too: "That I may know Him..." A God chaser is a person whose
passion for God's presence presses him to chase the impossible in hopes
that the uncatchable might catch him. A child chases a loving parent
until, suddenly, the strong arms of the father enfold the chaser.The
pursuer becomes the captive; the pursued the captor. Paul put it this
way:"I chase after that I may catch that which apprehended me"
(Phil.3:12).
The passionate paths of God chasers can be traced
across the pages of history from Moses the stutterer, David the singer,
and Paul the itinerant preacher, to contemporaries like A.W. Tozer,
Leonard Ravenhill, Richard Udousoro, and countless others who share one
common bond: an insatiable hunger to know their Lord.These are people
whose relentless, passionate pursuit of Christ often made them appear
foolish in the eyes of others. Yet, having tasted His goodness and
glimpsed the invisible, they could be satisfied with nothing less.
Add your name to the list...become a God chaser. Who knows? You might be one whom He catches.
