In Pastor Scott Williams' sermon, he shares on what we are closest in proximity to eventually influences who we become. With Jesus as our pursuit, God will make known to us the right people that are to be in our lives. Fostering these life-giving relationships will allow us to be elevated and point us closer to Jesus, the ultimate pursuit. When we link arms with those who are constantly running to Jesus, we advance forward rather than remain complacent.

Additionally, when Jesus is the focus, we become Spirit-led. As a result, we find ourselves exactly where we need to be. Eventually, we begin to see that when we are in the "right places, we start to run the right races." It is in fellowship with God that He orders our steps for His Kingdom.

As we find ourselves with the right people and in the right places, we must intentionally stay near to the things of God. With Jesus as our pursuit, our focus and energy are drawn to what pleases to Him and we can stand in awe as we see the windows of heaven open opportunities before us. There is power in proximity and when we are in pursuit of God, we receive the power of His spirit in us.
