Longing for God
You know how much you long for a drink on a hot day? When your body knows you need fluids? When you can’t do anything else until you’ve had a drink? Found one from somewhere?
Is that how we feel about God? Is that how much we need him?
Psalm 63:1-8
(A psalm by David when he was in the desert of Judah.)
God’s Love Means More than Life
63 You are my God. I worship you.
In my heart, I long for you,
as I would long for a stream
in a scorching desert.
2 I have seen your power
and your glory
in the place of worship.
3 Your love means more
than life to me,
and I praise you.
4 As long as I live,
I will pray to you.
5 I will sing joyful praises
and be filled with excitement
like a guest at a banquet.
6 I think about you
before I go to sleep,
and my thoughts turn to you
during the night.
7 You have helped me,
and I sing happy songs
in the shadow of your wings.
8 I stay close to you,
and your powerful arm
supports me.
Pam's Perambulation 
Often I idolize other things, but deep down I know I can only be truly satisfied when I’m close to Him. Thanks for leading us to this wonderful Psalm.
I think we all have ideas of things that seem great, but rarely turn out to fulfil their promise… We need to learn to look in the right place for satisfaction – in God.
