Psa 42:1-2 As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?

As I read this passage today, I had to stop and reflect. I read it again and again asking myself this question. Am I really thirsty for God? Do I long for him like the thirsty deer, looking for the cool water of the spring? Is my thirst for God the focus of my life?

How many times do people seek out the easy waters of the world instead of seeking after the one true God and the refreshing waters that only he can provide?

Let me ask you my friend are you thirsty for God? Do you yearn for Him until you get into His presence and He quenches your thirst by wrapping up in his arms of love.
God longs for us to come away with Him to the waters He has provided so He can comfort and draw us closer. The more you get to know God; the more you will thirst for Him.

Prayer focus for today: Lord, I want to thirst for you and be satisfied with nothing else. Make me thirsty for you, and don't let me be content with anything less.
