Fuel Your Thirst

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. Psalm 143:6

Not many of us have this sort of longing desire for our God. You'll hear preachers talk about how things used to be, how people used to be more loving and dedicated to God than now, but don't be fooled. People haven't changed. Coldness and lukewarm Christianity are nothing new. Less than a generation after Christ it had already set in. Before every great period of revival throughout history was a time of spiritual frigidity. Life is cyclical, even in spiritual matters. And these same sorts of patterns occur in our individual lives. Think back--you'll remember times when you had that intense thirst for the things of God...for His person and His presence in your life. And you'll see times when that desire waned. Maybe (probably) you're in a waning period now. That's okay; it happens. But it's not okay to stay there. Talk to Him. Take a step back towards Him...and He's promised to reciprocate. And with each step toward God you take, you'll feel that desire to know Him grow a little more. Keep going. Fuel the thirst.
