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.
Psalm 63:1
In Southern California right now, we are experiencing a drought. The signs on the road say, "serious drought; save water." So, physically right now, I am living in a dry and thirsty land without water. It affects me physically. My eyes are itchy, my nose is sniffly, my lips are chapped, and my skin is dry. I am able to see this very clear picture of what is like to not have water. I am physically thirsty. It is not a comfortable feeling.
Likewise, if I am living in a spiritual drought, in a land void of refreshment, I will be affected. I will not feel well. But by receiving Him, the Living Water, my thirst will be quenched and I will be refreshed. My soul THIRSTS for You.
The very best way to consistently quench my thirst and longing is to seek and meet Him first thing in the morning. Not only will this set the "mood" and mindset for my day, but for a busy person like me, this is the only time I consistently have that I can choose to be alone.
I'm on a little mini-vacation right now. I am spending a few days in Palm Springs with my parents. Last night I was terribly dismayed to find I had forgotten to pack my Daily Light. Then immediately, I was so glad to feel that way since this meant I have built a habit and a longing for this little snippet of His Word. Fortunately, (because of finding it online to copy and paste for this blog) I remembered to just look it up online...little void filled.
I'll take this moment to thank you for reading. This blog (and your readership) has really supported my discipline in spending time in the Word and spending time listening to Him. Thank you.
