369 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
*Run After God* 
"As surely as the lord lives I will run after him and get something from him." 2 Kings 5:20

There is a saying that if you run after God you will not ever have to run after a man because they will run after you. This is very true. When we distance ourself from Gods word we begin to normalize sin. Sin seems more intriguing then God but when we seek God sin becomes more and more uninteresting.

Take Whitney Houston for example. She loved God and grew up singing in the church but the ways of the world won her heart. To live up to the worlds expectations she did things to keep up and got further and further away from our lord. Drugs and being of the world became very normalized to her and the patterns of her life.  This is not what our Lord desires. When we follow the ways of the world and put our heart into worldly things we in return become bored, lonely and disconnected. We feel unfulfilled. Whitney left this world feeling unfulfilled which was a big fat lie from Satan! God put her in a unique position and she was sadly unable to remove the scales from her eyes. 
The Challenge: 
Do not run after man! Run after God and they too shall follow.
