Everyone thirsts after something. For some, it is their morning coffee when they wake up. Others, it is the weekend after a long meeting on Wednesday. It’s that book you can’t put down, or that vacation spot you can’t wait to get back to. Maybe it’s a hobby or sport that we are good at and just can’t seem to get enough of it. Or perhaps it’s the girl or guy that your mind for some reason can’t stop thinking about. Whatever it is, like a parched man in the desert, we all thirst, and thirst deeply.
I was reading Psalm 63 and was challenged by David who thirsted after God. David wrote that God’s steadfast love was better than life. We don’t need to increase our thirst…just change our appetite’s craving. I want to “remember him upon my bed and meditate on Him in the watches of the night” (verse 6). I pray you would join me in this journey.
