Psalm 42:1-2
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
Psalm 63:1
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;
Good morning!
I find it quite amazing that even though we feel good in church on Sunday, a hunger and thirst for more of God prevails on into the week. And, what is even more amazing is that my hunger and thirst for Him are always satisfied when I seek Him. The more we seek Him, the more we find Him. The hungrier we are; the thirstier we are; the more we are filled. It is like having an unquenchable hunger and thirst, all for the right reasons!
Several songs are on my mind today, and I'll let them be our spoonful of tonic. Nothing like the Word of God and a song to help us on our way toward more of God!
My soul is hungry for the presence of the Lord
I want a feast, not just a taste
Of the Spirit and the Word
Show me the storehouse
Where the blessings are stored
My soul is hungry for the presence of the Lord
And here's the second one (this one by CeCe Winans):
We thirst for you, we search for You
In a dry and barren land
We're longing for Your hand
To guide us to
A place where You
Can cleanse us with Your rain
Baptize us once again
We thirst for you
Throughout the rest of our days, may our hunger and thirst for more of God grow, and not diminish!!
Until tomorrow, Lord willing.................
My feelings exactly!
