A God chaser is a person whose passion for God's presence presses him to
chase the impossible in hopes that the uncatchable might catch him. A
child chases a loving parent until, suddenly, the strong arms of the
father enfold the chaser. The pursuer becomes the captive; the pursued
the captor. Paul put it this way: "I chase after that I may catch that
which apprehended me" (Phil. 3:12).
Job was a God chaser. He said,
"Oh that I knew where I might find Him!" David was one; he said, "My
soul followeth hard after Thee." Paul was one too: "That I may know
Him..." The passionate paths of God chasers can be traced across the
pages of history from Moses the stutterer, David the singer, and Paul
the itinerant preacher, to contemporaries like A.W. Tozer, Leonard
Ravenhill, and countless others who share one common bond: an insatiable
hunger to know their Lord. These are people whose relentless,
passionate pursuit of Christ often made them appear foolish in the eyes
of others. Yet, having tasted His goodness and glimpsed the invisible,
they could be satisfied with nothing less.
Add your name to the list...become a God chaser. Who know? You might be one whom He catches.
