The Hunted sounds like a cool Rockstar Band…but its actually biblical.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6
The word for “follow” in Hebrew is more of a hunting term or so I read in a recent book. I instantly connected with this terminology with ooohs and aaahs…looking at that verse in that way…and looking at God as a mighty Hunter after my heart really really hit me…in a GREAT way.
I want to be hunted and pursued by God daily…I mean I know He’s already doing it…but I want to see the effects of that more in my life. If you know your being chased after wouldn’t you run or walk with a different urgency? If you know someone could end your existance…shatter your world…but also have the power to redeem, free, save…that you are a treasured “game” but way more prized then a 30 point buck, or a gynormous bear. Wouldn’t you look over your shoulder? Would you be able to stop long enough to let that same hunter kill your every day life, your disgusting heart full of sin, pride, envy, all the regular yuck that mucks us up? I would hope so. I don’t have to worry if He’s going to maim or hurt me…I know He’s going in for the kills shot…the shot that claims me, destroys me, frees me to be more Christ-like daily..because He’s God…and He’s just that GOOD. So in honor of my of my hunky Hunter of a Heavenly Husband… I’ve added some rather cheese photos of hunters that can’t compare…even though they have cool beards or other skills.
