1 As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? Psalm 42:1-2
Have you ever experienced a deep thirst where you felt like you were "dying" to drink something? Have you ever been so hungry that your whole body was weak, aching, and weary? Most of us in the west probably have not because of the abundance of food and drink that is available.
Spiritually speaking I have felt and experienced extreme thirst and hunger at times. I have been on my knees crying out to God for more of His presence, power, and love in my life. I have felt the reality of being in a dry and weary land where there is a lack of water, sometimes the greatest lack has been in my own soul. Hunger and thirst are a gift from God. If you are hungry for God and you can't live without Him, then you are blessed. If your body aches for the presence of the living God then count it a great joy.
We are living in times where most around us do not even consider the eternal God, much less hunger or thirst for Him. Never loose your hunger and your thirst. You will be empowered to do great exploits through this gift. Out of this place you will see healing and deliverance come forth. You will prophesy in power and souls will be impacted for the kingdom. Our great reward is Jesus Christ and He alone.
