How would you describe your desire to seek after God? Is it a sporadic yearning that only occurs when you need his help? Is it an inconsistent, even if often, reaching out to thank him and to make requests? Or is it a continual thirst of asking him to guide your through every situation?
We go through different phases of life and relationship with God. We experience stagnant periods and periods of growth. There are times when we feel as though we are walking through a desert and times of dancing in lush pastures. Through it all, we have a choice to make.
As we walk through life, we can choose to seek God in every moment, or we can attempt to go it alone. Going it alone only works for a while. Eventually, we realize we are headed down the wrong path, something is missing, or we need help to get out of a bad situation. Returning to God gets us back on the right path, fills the hole in our heart, and keeps us out of those bad situations.
If we seek God in every moment, being mindful of him being with us, and following his guidance, we discover the abundant life Jesus promised us. Desiring God to be ever present in our hearts and minds, regardless of the phase of life we are in, satisfies our soul. Keeping God as our top priority brings us peace and joy, and we experience the love of God—his grace pours over us.
I pray we all thirst for God in every moment. I pray we desire to have God flood our hearts and minds. I pray each one of us experience God’s love and amazing grace. Thirst for God. Desire Gove every moment. Ask God to fill your heart and mind. Experience God’s love and grace.
Psalm 63:1
O God, you are my God; I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
