LONGING FOR GOD


"O GOD, you are my God;
early will I seek you:
my soul thirsts for you,
my flesh longs for you as in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is; 
To see your power and your glory,
 as I have seen you in the sanctuary.
Because your lovingkindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise you.
Thus will I bless you while I live:
I will lift up my hands in your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:
When I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the night watches.
Because you have been my help,
therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
My soul follows hard after you:
your right hand up holds me."
(Psalms 63:1-8 AKJV)

One of my favorite portions of Scripture. It captures the desperate heart of David and his passion for God. Oh that each of us would know that same passion!
