Seek Him

Image
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. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NKJV) Seek Him early and often. Seek Him urgently, with every fiber of your being. Yahweh is the only One Who can satisfy. He opens His hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. (See Psalms 145:16-17 NASB1995) And Yahweh will continually guide you, and satisfy your soul in scorched places, and fortify your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. (Isaiah 58:11 LSB) May His glorious name be praised! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. — Psalms 63:4-5 (NLT)

Better Than Life

“O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You.”  — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NASB1995)  “I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.”  — Psalms 63:4-5 (NLT) The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. (Lamentations 3:22 LSB) They are certainly better than life itself. “…With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God.” (See Psalms 84:2 NLT) For He is a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness. He loves us with an everlasting love, and He draws us to Himself with lovingkindness. Even Yahweh, the God of hosts, Yahweh is His name of remembrance. Therefore, return to your God, keep lovingkindness an...

Thirst for God

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? — Psalms 42:1-2 (NASB1995) Today, we have the pleasure, privilege, and honor of humbly offering ourselves to Yahweh at all times. Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].

Come, Listen & Eat

Image
“Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy grain and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost [simply accept it as a gift from God]. “Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight in abundance. — Isaiah 55:1-2 (AMP) In Isaiah 55:3 (TPT) Yahweh says: “Pay attention and come closer to me, and hear, that your total being may flourish. I will enter into an everlasting covenant with you, and I will show you the same faithful love that I showed David.” The invitation to come is to everyone who thirsts. Money is not a requirement to come. Yahweh gives freely. He opens His hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. (See Psalms 145:16-17 NASB1995) Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalms 34:8 NLT) Co...

(Psalms 42:8 NLT) May we desire the Presence of God, more than anything else this world has to offer. We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. (Psalms 33:20-22 NLT)  In Isaiah 55:1-3 (NASB1995), the LORD says: “Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat.

(Psalms 63:5 VOICE) Seek Yahweh earnestly (with sincere and intense conviction), not half-heartedly out of routine or religious traditions. Seek Him with every fiber of your being. (See Psalms 63:1 VOICE). Praise Him with every bone in your body. (See Psalm...

 call upon Him while He is near (Isaiah 55:6). This world will leave you thirsting for more, but Jesus gives living water that truly satisfies. Whoever believes in Him shall never thirst (John 6:35).

Let your deepest affections be directed toward our great God.

A Thirst for the Living God!

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?  — Psalm 42:1-2 (NIV) When you thirst for water nothing else will satisfy, not a cold glass of milk or a cup of hot tea. When our soul longs for the presence of God, nothing else will satisfy. Some try to fill the emptiness with alcohol or drugs, but nothing will satisfy and quench our thirst like the Presence of Almighty God. Our God is ALIVE! and He is ABLE to take care of everything that concerns you. What are you waiting for? Thirst no more. He is ready to meet with YOU now!

Thirsty?

Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  — John 7:37 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6). In Revelation 21:5-7, Jesus said, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” What a glorious future awaits us! Come to Jesus and drink freely from the fountain of living waters, for we shall overcome. Amen!

Are You Thirsty?

I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah  — Psalm 143:5-6 (NIV) Are you journeying through a dry land? When your soul thirsts for the Lord, it shall be satisfied. He is the Living Water. Jesus says, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink,” (John 7:37). He is the spring of living water. Let him who thirsts come and drink!
