Thirsty for God‏

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.    (Psalm 42:1)___________

Daniel 10:12‏

God has heard everything that you said ever since the first day you 

decided to humble yourself in front of your God so that you could learn to understand things. I have come in response to your prayer.

........... 
If we just want the stuff in heaven- no more tears, streets of gold, and even those who have died and gone to heaven, then we don't really know what it is that will satisfy us.
 
But our Father is waking us up. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? (Psa 42:2)

The Lord is why heaven is heaven. What if we could go to hell and have all the 'good stuff'? Without God there is no way anything would be good. When will I get to see my Father in heaven?
 
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me continually, "Where is your God?" (Psa 42:3)


Who are they?


They are the thirsty who do not hope for the perfect satisfaction as a child of God.
 
These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival. (Psa 42:4) Through Jesus your Savior God has made adoption into his family a reality. And you will go with the many others in God's family who have been chosen individually because of his love for each one of us. Let's pray.
 
Father, thank you for sending Jesus and paying for our adoption into your family. Thank you for opening the door for all who will believe in your love that is ours in Christ. Help us to realize that the thirst in our soul is for you- to live in personal relationship with you. Amen.
 
Today's very great and precious promise
 
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
(Psa 42:5)
 
We have God's Word on it.
