PURSUE

Read 1 Samuel: 30

1 Samuel 30:8 So David inquired of the Lord, saying shall I pursue this troop ? Shall I overtake them ? And He(GOD) answered him, Pursue for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.

Like David, I am one after God’s own heart; like David many are my afflictions, but God delivers me from them all, like David it seems that I am in constant battle and I find myself crying out to the Lord until I am to weary to do anything but cry. However I take comfort in the fact that just like with David, God always answers me. I believe like David, Shon Garner Cole is the apple of God’s eye. One may look at my life and say how I so? But I know what I know and I know what God has brought me out of. In this particular chapter of the book David has arrived at Ziklag to find mass destruction. He has found that the enemy has attempted to steal and destroy his family. When you read further you find that it was merely an attempt, because David finds them unharmed.

Now David cried out to God do I pursue? And God said yes. Yesterday, I reflected over my family situation with the help of my son, and I said Lord do I pursue and He said yes, surely you shall recover them all. Now I know this pursuit of happiness, and restoration will not be easy, I know because of pride, stubbornness, and a desire just to be mean and not let me be the one, I will meet opposition. BUT GOD has said Shon Garner Cole pursue. He has told me He has my back. SO as long as He is working on the scene and I am just merely the messenger everything will be alright. To those of you who read my words daily and follow my blogs, you may say I speak of my family often and at first glance we seem a bit dysfunctional I challenge you to find one that doesn’t have its own share of problems and dysfunction and I will award you a million dollars. I can say that with confidence because one I know one day I will have million to give and most importantly there is no perfect family. But I love mine even if sometimes it’s from a distance.

In June I got to the brook in my life and some people got left behind they couldn’t or wouldn’t go the other side with me. At first I was mad about it then after reading this chapter in entirety, realized they weren’t up to the battle. They may not have trusted and believed in the Father like I do. I so trust God, that if tells me tomorrow you resign and you are to stay at home and pray night and day for seven days. I would most surely do it. Why because He is not a man that can lie, and as long as I do what He says HE IS OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE. I bet you didn’t know that huh? God is obligated to keep His word as long we walk according to His will. Now, I am about to go in the enemies camp so to speak but I am coming back with my family. I coming back with everything the enemy stole and some more. Just keep watching look especially for my first post of the year there will be a praise report in it of that I am certain.

I am Blessed to Be A Blessing
