The writers of the AMPC try to keep the meaning of scripture directly related to spiritual matters while the second two leave the pursuit up to the hunter.

Once again I begin with a quote I left off with yesterday. Now to another version of that bible verse.

Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase. ESV

Running indicates pursuit, but it does not indicate what is being pursued. What are you chasing? Don’t answer that quite yet. Undoubtedly knowledge has increased, home libraries have been replaced by Smartphones. The home library held selective content, you had to make a choice in what entered in and what was left out. Smartphones give you access to everything, desirable and undesirable. It is a matter of desire. What do you desire?

What you are chasing and what you desire might not be the same thing. The chase might be the way to the means to obtain your desire. After all someone has to pay the phone bill. All this leads me back once again to my original thought about the death of the DVD.

My pursuit of that thought led me to scriptural implications which were first revealed in me. I did not always think this way. I did not always seek God in my thoughts. I did not always pursue God’s purposes in my life. I have changed and what I pursue now is vastly different than those things I pursued even a few decades ago.

In the beginning of my walk I sought knowledge. It came really fast. I didn’t have to run after it. It was pleasing and made me think I was on the right path. I was so full of information I was full of myself. Pride set in and mistakes were made, wounds were caused and consequences resulted. I was no better a man than when I was lost. The information did not change me. I was fraught with indecision, what went wrong?
