Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org If you have chickens in your backyard, you know that catching one is one of the most difficult things you will ever do! They are just fast enough and can fly just enough to escape you every time. If you are lucky e n o u g h t o catch one, Rev. Trent Rankin God's Pursuit that is when your trouble really begins. They will flop and flail all around like you are shocking them with you fingers. This is the same way we often run from God. For- tunately, even though we run away, God pursues us. In the book of Jonah, Jonah the prophet had been commissioned by God to preach to the Ninevites. The city of Nineveh was immoral and known for its evil and de- pravity. Jonah had no desire to preach to these people, so he fled from God. He boarded a ship and attempted to flee to the city of Tarshish. While at sea, a storm arose, and the ship was likely to sink. The sailors cast lots to see who had brought trouble on them, and the lot fell on Jonah. He told the sailors he was fleeing from God, and they would have to throw him overboard to save the ship. Reluctantly they did so, and the storm ceased. God raised up a great fish to swallow Jonah. For three days and nights Jonah was in the belly of the fish. While there, he repented, and com- mitted himself to doing God's will. God made the fish to spit Jonah out on the land. Jonah then went and preached to the Ninevites, and the y turned from their sins, and sought God. God could have given up on Jonah and raised up an- other prophet to preach to the Ninevites, but He did not, He pursued Jonah. In our walk with God, there are times when we are closer to God than others. There are times like Jonah experienced, where we flee God, seeking our own desires. Fortunately for us, God seeks us. When we are lost, God seeks a relationship with us through Jesus Christ. As believers, when we begin to drift from God, He seeks us, wanting to restore fellowship with Him. Our God is relentless. He is relentless, because His love for us is relentless. He gave His own son Jesus, to die for our sins. That is love! God pursues us, just like Jonah, but our hearts must be open. We must open our hearts to a relationship with Jesus. As believers, we must also continually have hearts open to growing closer to Jesus ever day. How awe- some is it that our God pursues us? God's love is relentless, and He is pursu- in g us today!
