This morning I was in worship, as I praised with my new tambourine (thanks to my husband) that I had hung a tassel off of, I watched as my youngest cat tried to attack the tassel. As the music got more intense I began to ignore her intense stare at the tassel, as it flew through the air. Then suddenly, I opened my eyes and there was a cat flying past my face after the tassel attached to my tambourine. That’s when I heard God say 2 things at the same time.
First I heard, “This is how I want my children to be, chasing after praise! Eagerly intent on praise and worship.”
Then I heard, “The enemy will try to distract you from praising. The enemy is chasing after you just you as chase after me. If you stop, it will overtake you. But if you trust in Me, I will overtake you and as you praise My presence will come and the enemy will flee. Do not let the enemy distract you and take away your praise from your lips.”
I realized that in that one action it shows the way we should chase after God and in the same way that the enemy chases after us. As a cat sets it’s gaze on it’s prey, we should set our gaze on God.
