O God, you are my God!
That's how David writes. Take a minute and meditate on this, even shout it if you prefer!
No matter what is going on in my life, God is always my God or better read he is always my Father.
Earnestly I seek you;
My soul thirsts for you,
My body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
This type of pursuit of God goes far beyond our circumstances. It does not hang on the conditions of our current emotional state, on whether or not I feel like exalting God. I have learned alot today from this verse.
Just this one verse can change the dynamic of our families and marketplaces. Even when we gather on Sundays at The Grove, what would our time be like if everyone came because they where earnestly seeking God? Because there soul was thirsty for God's love in a dry and weary land?
How would this change a marriage? If both husband and wife were earnestly seeking God together. How would it transform our children? How about the lost world all around us? What if they saw a church genuine and authentically seeking God with a deep longing and thirst?
