[Discoveries] 06-05-07 Everything we want

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*O God, You are my God, 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. 
-- Psalm 63:1*/

I've felt a bit intimidated by this passage, to tell you the truth. My 
desire for God seems pretty weak by comparison. How much energy do I put 
into seeking God? By comparison, I feel casual, almost shallow. The 
author, David, must be in a whole different league of spirituality than me.

Or so I thought.

What is the difference between the "spiritual" and the not so 
"spiritual"? In many ways, it boils down to this: God reveals to us what 
we're really hungry for.

All of us are hungry. All of us are thirsty. All of us are longing. All 
of us desire deeply. But we don't always know what we want. Like Edmund 
of Narnia, we think it's Turkish Delight, until we wake up and discover 
that what this world offers doesn't nourish the longings of our soul.

All our desires, even those that were corrupted, point heavenward. We 
are all hungry for God. This cry expresses everything we want.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
