The Lord must have a soft spot for runaway people. From Hagar to Jacob to Elijah and Onesimus, God seem to specialize in meeting runaways on their flight. Are you running away from something in your past? Take heart, you are never too far from the reach of the mercy of God. Is a loved one running away from you? Be encouraged, the Lord is on His way to meet him.

This is a slight detour from my series of posts about prayer and fasting. Boyce Avenue’s cover of FIX YOU by Coldplay. It’s so good! 
Build Up, Build Up

Day 5 of Prayer and Fasting. Tonight we prayed for the NATIONS of the world.
“Build up, build up, prepare the road!
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.” –Isaiah 57.14
Back off Satan, this nation belongs to Jesus Christ!
Intercession for the Philippines

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. –2 Chronicles 7.14
We stake our claim over this nation, we raise up the banner of Jesus over this land, we declare the righteousness of Christ over the Philippines. The powers of darkness have no other option but to back off and flee. Let the nations of the world know that Jesus is God over the Filipino people!
Stunted Spirituality

Don A. Carson on pursuing God more than His blessings:
When it comes to knowing God, we are a culture of the spiritually stunted. So much of our religion is packaged to address our felt needs—and these are almost uniformly anchored in our pursuit of our own happiness and fulfillment. God simply becomes the Great Being who, potentially at least, meets our needs and fulfills our aspirations. We think rather little of what He is like, what He expects of us, what He seeks in us. We are not captured by His holiness and His love; His thoughts and words capture too little of our imagination, too little of our discourse, too few of our priorities.
In the biblical view of things, a deeper knowledge of God brings with it massive improvement in the other areas [of our lives]: purity, integrity, evangelistic effectiveness, better study of Scripture, improved private and corporate worship, and much more. But if we seek these things without passionately desiring a deeper knowledge of God, we are selfishly running after God’s blessings without running after him.
