Text: Psalm 63:1-2
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
How much food you eat depends on how hungry you are. Similarly how much water you drink depends on how thirsty you are. How much of God’s presence you carry depends on how much of Him you long for. The word of God says, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
Are you hungry for God? Are you thirsty for his word and righteousness? If you are, it will show in the way you seek him. God told Jeremiah saying, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
David was a man who loved God and pursued him with all his heart. This is why he told the Lord saying “O God, You are my God; early 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.” Psalm 63:1-2
At a point he said, “Evening and morning and at noon, I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.” Psalm 55:17
Later he said, “Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments”. Psalm 119:164
In Psalm 34:1 he said, “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
As you set your heart to seek his face, rest assured that you will daily encounter him and your life will never remain the same again in Jesus name.
Action Nugget: Ask for more appetite for the word of God and for his Holy Spirit.
