THIRSTY FOR GOD
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; ~Psalm 63:1~
Mark Roberts writes: “On a mountain hike…we spotted a peak that seemed to be just a couple of miles further, so we headed for it. By the time we conquered it we’d used up most of our water. Our return…was mercifully downhill, but there wasn’t even a tiny spring to slake our nagging thirst…I spent three hours longing for water, thinking of nothing else besides how wonderful it would feel to get a drink.”
When David wrote, “My soul thirsts for You…in a dry and weary land where there is no water,” his enemies were pressing in on him and he wondered if God had forgotten him. Ever been there?
Your pain is unbearable and God feels distant? Just as physical thirst is your body’s way of telling you that you need water, inside you there’s a spiritual thirst only God can quench. And He will: “[When you] require Me [as a vital necessity]…[you will] find Me when you search… with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13 AMP).
Half-hearted efforts won’t cut it!
One Bible teacher says: “The only way to know God is. . first-hand. Those who are content to know Him through a second-hand relationship don’t really know Him. . . They want others to pray for them rather than praying themselves. . . to provide the verse rather than reading it themselves. They’re content with a TV church, or a sermon on the Internet. . . .Every person needs to test God . . . .to see if He is who He says. . . . if His promises are true…if He’ll answer your prayers. . . if He’ll be there when you need Him. . . . if He’ll give you wisdom, strength, endurance and perseverance. . . .
HE IS. . . . THEY ARE. . . . AND HE WILL. . . . ---EVERY TIME. . . . "
Lord we thank You for always being there for us, even when we seem to wonder about You, thinking maybe You are not really who You say You are. You never leave our side and You always come to our rescue when we need You the most, all we need to do is ask . Convict our hearts Lord to search You out not only when we are in need but at all times, good and bad. Keep us safe day by day and watch over us during our sleep. In Jesus name we Pray Amen.
