God Satisfies The Longing Soul

God Satisfies The Longing Soul

You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1

Sometimes it hits like a lightning bolt. At other times it comes gradually—like waking up from a deep slumber.

“It” is the sense that our lives are out of balance. We see ourselves as we truly are—frantic people, rushing through our days, trying so feverishly to have it all and do it all. We realize that all we have to show for our busyness is frustration and exhaustion. We experience feelings of regret, because we see (once again!) that whenever we choose a life jammed with nonstop activity, we are also choosing to shut the door on life’s greatest treasures—intimacy with God and deep relationships with the people in our lives.

David made seeking God a high priority, especially when he felt threatened by enemies. Time with God was just the restorative medicine he needed, and it enabled him to live life without regrets.

If we make time with God a priority, we can experience joy, rather than regret. He satisfies those who long for him.

GOD’S PROMISE TO ME
• I will satisfy the longings of those who seek me.

MY PRAYER TO GOD
O God, sometimes I don’t truly know what I long for. I scramble around, searching in vain. Help me to long for you like I long for water or air.
