"Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you
back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."
We at times may give up on God, but God never gives up on us.
(Genesis 28.15
NRSV)
H.A. Ironside once told the story of how he would play "bear" with his little boy. Often Dr.
Ironside would get down on all fours and chase the toddler into a corner, all the time growling
like a bear. Once when the lad was hopelessly cornered, he said boldly, "I'm not a bit
afraid--you're not a bear at all, you're my daddy." Dr. Ironside thought to himself how true this
was, for in his own life he was once "running away from God, treating him as though he were
an enemy...but now I thank you for running me down."
Lord Jesus, please keep chasing me. I, at times, may not know it or believe it, but I really do
need you in my life. Amen.
