Habakkuk 2:2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

We all run. Which way are you running?

Jeremiah 49:19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

Isaiah 55:5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

I have spent my whole life running, first away from God and now towards my Savior. The sad thing about that running way, I didn’t realize I was running at all. I was tired, but I didn’t know why. I was aimless and I didn’t know why. I felt useless and I didn’t know why. Then one day I surrendered and gave up running from the Lord who was pursuing me.

Ezekiel 35:6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

I came to admit that I was guilty of the blood of Christ and that guilt had finally overcome me like the swelling of the Jordan in Jeremiah 49:19 ^. I grew weary of running and I surrendered.

Psalm 69:1,3,5,13,18 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.  I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
