SPIRITUAL THIRST FOR GOD
"My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. O God, You are my God; Early/eagerly will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. With my soul I have desired You in the night, yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;"
What is the driving force and engine of the spiritual life – that which constantly compels us forward?
Thirst for God!
What does it mean?
It is a thirst for God Himself.
Not a thirst for God’s gifts or blessings, but for HIM-THE PERSON-WHO HE IS.
It is an intense and powerful longing to know God, to “see His power and His glory.”
What does it mean?
To receive a revelation of Himself in the innermost depths of your being, in your spirit.
What does that lead to?
To becoming like Him!
It is a “spiritual thirst” – a thirst for the Spirit of God – the only power that can transform you and me into God-likeness, into His image: Jesus Christ.
Why is this so important?
It is the goal of your life as a human being, the root cause for your existence!
But it is not enough that this thirst has seized your spirit, it must penetrate your entire being, your soul and your body.
Then you thirst for him with your emotions, with your intellect, with every fibre of your body. Then
it becomes first a conscious decision of will to eagerly seek him and as you continue an established practice.
Has that become your reality?
Another important thing!
You can thirst and long for Him with your whole body and soul, but not reach Him!
What do you mean?
God is Spirit and you can only reach Him with your spirit – only with the eyes of your spirit are you able “see” His “power and glory”!
Do you “eagerly seek” God with your spirit?
