You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you. Psalm 63:1-5
Does water satisfy your thirst? Think about it, when you are truly thirsty does anything but water satisfy your thirst? If you look at all the beverages out there, sports drinks, sodas, calorie free drinks, it feels there is always something missing from them to satisfy us completely. Water is almost always there and can create true satisfaction. Once you drink it, is your thirst not gone completely? When you are hungry and need to quell the hunger pains you might drink a big glass of water, does it not make the pains go away and your belly feels slightly full? What else do you look to in order to fill your thirst for God? Is it the Bible or searching for God himself, or do you look to society, pastors, leaders or the internet? I guarantee the only place you are going to be satisfied within is with a true relationship with God and His Word. He is Power and the One that can change your life. He can satisfy you fully, just like the water can satisfy your physical thirst, God will satisfy your spiritual thirst.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
