Psalm 63:1 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.
I know vividly the sensation of not being able to quench a thirst—when all you want is water, and you can’t seem to get enough, no matter how much or how quickly you drink.
Psalm 42:1 As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, O God.
That is the way David’s soul thirsts for his God in these verses. That is the way we should all thirst for His presence.
Psalm 143:6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for these images. Thank You for drawing me closer to You each morning. Draw me ever closer until You are my sole focus, until my soul thirsts for You alone. Satisfy that thirst as only You can. Amen.
John 4:14 “But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
Have a blessed day.
