What Are You Running From???

One of the biggest temptations I face as a Christian, an entrepreneur, and a Christian in business is…running.

I run to the next appointment…

I run to the next marketing technique…

I run to making the next sale…

and sometimes I run away from God…

It’s not that I don’t love God or want to spend time with Him, its that I allow the busyness of life and business take over.

“Is there an answer?”

Yes.

“Is it a 7 step system?”

No.

“Then, what is it?”

It’s hope.

“What?”

Before you can make a change, you have to have hope for a change.  By looking into the unseen realms of the heart of God, we begin to see the hope He has for us.

If we look into His heart, we will see that His hope is that we would stop running to everything else, and start running to Him.  You would see that He desires you above all.  You would see that He has hope for you…

Jesus has Hope, not that we can change, but that we will begin to receive all that He has for us.

Spending time with God should not be a drudgery or a punishment, like going to the movies with your parents when your a teenager.  It should be about enjoying our God for who He is, not what He does.

So the hope Jesus has for us is to embrace Him.  When we know we’ve been running, all we have to do is stop, turn around and fall into His arms.  As the Psalms tell us, His mercy is new every morning…

Stop running away and start running into Him (even if you’ve been running for a long time).
