When someone is being chased, our minds immediately think of \u201cno good,\u201d peril, and fear. But what if I told you that being chased could actually be a beautiful thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh yes, God\u2019s favor is hot on our heels! His goodness and mercy are in relentless pursuit, and they aren\u2019t giving up anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isn\u2019t that just like our Heavenly Father? He doesn\u2019t just sit back and wait for us to figure it out. No, He actively chases us down with blessings, grace, and love. It\u2019s not just enough that we\u2019re followed by goodness and mercy — God wants to overwhelm us with His kindness and wrap us in His favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, we\u2019re so busy hustling through our days — heads down, hearts heavy — and we don\u2019t realize we\u2019re being pursued by blessings. We\u2019re darting from task to task, trying to manage life, and completely missing the beautiful truth: God\u2019s favor is on our trail!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe it\u2019s time to slow down and let God\u2019s goodness catch up. I promise — it\u2019s not like being chased by a barking dog or a swarm of bees. No, it\u2019s more like being chased by someone who loves us and catches us with a giant, joy-filled hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll know it when it happens — those little moments when God\u2019s love kisses our soul. Maybe it\u2019s a long-awaited answer to prayer, a friend who calls just when we needed encouragement, or a hug that feels like it\u2019s straight from heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God\u2019s goodness and mercy are chasing us down. So today, let’s slow our pace just enough to get caught! David knew this feeling when he wrote: \u201cSurely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life…\u201d (Psalm 23:6) He wasn\u2019t just being poetic — he was telling us that God\u2019s blessings are actively pursuing us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s stop running long enough to be embraced by God’s love today. We might just find that being chased is a “goodness and mercy” is a really, really good thing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
