Psalm 63:1-8 (The Message)
1
God—you're my God! I can't get enough of you! I've worked up such
hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts.
2-4 So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory. In your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains. I bless you every time I take a breath; My arms wave like banners of praise to you.
5-8 I eat my fill of prime rib and gravy; I smack my lips. It's time to shout praises! If I'm sleepless at midnight, I spend the hours in grateful reflection. Because you've always stood up for me, I'm free to run and play. I hold on to you for dear life, and you hold me steady as a post.

I read this passage of
scripture today and it took my breath away. What passion for God, what
love for Him! Often times when we talk to God we are focused on
ourselves and others, but how often are our prayers sent up to just show
our love and passion for the King. I know I need to improve in this
area. I love God so much, but often times my prayers are so me focused
instead of God focused. I just wanted to give us all a reminder to turn
our hearts and our lips to God in worship. Let our passion for the King
pour out of us and straight into His heart.
God bless!
