Thirsting for God

Thirsting 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. To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.” Psalm 63:1,2

The sun was fierce, and the sand was scorching. The travelers were worn out with fatigue. Having been abandoned in the desert, they were doing everything possible to create moisture for their parched throats. Their tongues were dry and swollen, their faces flush, eyes sunk back in their heads, headaches started, arms and legs cramped. Their strength dwindled and temperaments soured. It will only get worse. This is the plight of someone stranded in the desert.

David wrote these verses. He knew, from experience, what this was like. Imagine yourself suffering this plight! You would do anything for a drink of water.

And yet David said, “My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land where no water is.” He pictured himself as being as thirsty for God as a dehydrated man in the desert was thirsty for water. David really wanted to experience God personally.

In Job 23:12 Job said, “I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.”

If you know Christ as your personal Savior, are you that thirsty and hungry for God? Do you want to have such a close relationship with Christ that you would forego water or food just to spend time with Him?

Are you thirsting, craving, longing to know Him better? Spend much time in the Word of God (God talking to you) and in praying (talking to Him). Nothing can satisfy you more. Get to know Him!

Dale Buchanan is an ex-Baptist pastor and retired accountant who started his writing career a couple of years ago. He desires to honor the Lord with his writing, win the lost to Christ and encourage Christians to make Christ the pre-eminent person in their lives. Contact Dale: research.djb@gmail.
