I have chased so many things in my life
Never looking back or away
Only to discover sorrow, frustration and strife
Were waiting at the end of the day
Why I pursue the things that destroy or kill
I cannot say
The sin and wickedness makes me ill
It’s a debt I cannot pay
But when it comes to chasing Truth and Yahweh
I seem to have no drive
I would rather goof off and play
Then chase the One who keeps me alive
The older I get the more I find
The endless pursuit for the things of death
Have quietly eroded my mind
Taken my health and stolen my breath
Yahweh, today I choose to change what I am chasing
After you I will run fast
My priorities and desires in You I am placing
For Your Kingdom is the that which will last
Forgive me for running after sin
With my head lost in the stars
Doing the wrong thing time and again
Like a dog chasing parked cars
Help me start each day praying
As early I seek You
On my knees patiently staying
For chasing You is what I will do
The thoughts and meditations of a Son of YHWH.
Nice. And so true of all of us.
ReplyDeleteSeek ye first the kindom of YAHWAH and His rightness and all these THINGS shall be added unto you. Matt.6:33. Very good post Son, May we allways seek HIM first!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks to YHWH for this post. It highlights the purest, and most valuable pursuit man can ever engage. The pursuit of purity, holiness, righteousness, truth, love,obedience to YHWH, and all other qualities that are life. And all these are found in Yahshua; The expressed image of His person.
