Are You Thirsty?

Psalm 42:1(NCV) “As a deer thirsts for streams of water, so I thirst for you, God.”

These days you might hear people use the word “thirsty” as a slang term which means: Desperate; wanting or needing someone or something. In Hebrew the word is `arag, which means: To long for. Ask yourself this question…What are you “thirsty” for? What are those things that keep your focus, those things that you are running after, the things that you spend so much time praying for, confessing for, etc. When you spend time with God do you spend more time asking Him for things, then asking Him what’s on His heart, what are His desires for you? Do you spend more time asking Him to help change your situation and circumstances then seeking growth, mind renewal, maturity, etc.? God is looking for us to be “thirsty” for Him. He wants us to long after Him, for us to want and need Him. Just as a deer would thirst for water from the stream after running through the forest, in that same manner we must be thirsty for God.

So I want to encourage each of you reading this today to begin to put Psalm 42:1 into your hearts. It’s time to turn your focus off of yourself and towards the Father, because He loves each of you so much and there is so much He wants to pour into you if you have your mind open to receive it.
