When I read this "text" the phrase "fan or follower immediately came to mind." I just heard a pastor use that phrase to describe two broad categories of people as they respond to Jesus. Some are fans and admire him from a distance while others have taken more active maybe more radical steps to become a follower. As I read this text the "action" of the writer is what grabbed me. Active pursuit!
I seek...
I have hidden your word...
I recount...
I rejoice...
I meditate...
I delight...
I will not neglect...
The Psalmist was in an active pursuit of God and much of that pursuit was obviously tied to the "word of God". I've seen a pattern in my life. It seems so obvious and so simple that it doesn't need to be stated but I will. When I am "active" in pursuing my relationship with God through his word intimacy grows. Like any other relationship the one with our Heavenly Father takes work.
How about you? Fan or Follower?
