AND YOU WILL FIND ALL THAT YOU HAVE LONGED FOR.
MY SOUL THIRSTETH FOR GOD. “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God.” Psalm 42:1
Water is essential for the satisfaction and wholeness of life. True believers will hunger and thirst for God and His grace, blessing, and supernatural activity.
- To stop thirsting for God is to die spiritually; thus we must not allow anything to diminish our intense desire for the things of God. Beware of the cares of this world, the pursuit of earthly things, and the pleasures which choke out hunger and thirst for God and the desire to seek His face in prayer (Mark 4:19).
- We should pray that our longing for God’s presence might be strengthened, and our love for the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit might be greater. Our passion for the fullness of Christ’s kingdom and righteousness might be deepened until we cry out to Him day and night in a heartfelt thirst, even as the deer “panteth after the water brooks” in times of drought.
We must seek the LORD while He may be found. As I pray, I delight to do the Father’s Will for there is fullness of joy in His presence.
Blessings,
