THIRST FOR GOD!

Psalm 63:1 – Devotional

Psalm 63:1

“O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.“

A friend once shared with me a conversation he had with his sweetheart who was many miles away. He asked her if she was spending time reading the Bible and talking with the Lord. She confessed that she wasn’t. He counseled her to make time in the word and prayer her priorities.

My wife Joyce and I were like hand in glove since we were fourteen. We had 66 wonderful years together before she slipped beyond the pain and agony of this life into that wonderful place the Lord has prepared for us. I miss her so bad it hurts.

It is always well for us to cry out in longing to the Lord when we experience the desert times of our life. It is important to realize that the Lord is more anxious to come near to us than we are to come near to Him. The parable that Jesus told of the prodigal son reveals that our heavenly Father is always waiting to welcome us back when we make our way back home.

Do you miss Him? If there is a lack of thirst for the presence of the living God in your life, spend time reading and meditating on His Word. Tell Him where you are and how much you miss Him. Thirst for God! He is waiting to welcome you home!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
