Press on: 12-7-12

 Hey friends of Thrive Community Church.  How about this verse from today's One Year Bible (http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com)?  Its Hosea 6:

3 Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring."

The phraseology here is significant - "press on to know him".  It means to chase, or pursue.  In the figurative sense, it means as a dog might after its master.  If we will press after Him, the verse goes on to say "...He will respond..."!

Not only will He respond, God's response to our effort to chase Him is a as sure as tomorrow's sunrise! I love this verse!  So let's take some time tomorrow and press on to know him!

My Prayer for Today:  Lord, I know that for every step I take towards you, you take 2 towards me.  So now may we find you in new and surprising ways tomorrow as we seek you.

Amen
