TODAY’S WORD…

.

You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you;

I thirst for you,

my whole being longs for you,

in a dry and parched land where there is no water.

.

– Psalm 63:1 (NIV)

REFLECTION…

.

Being with the Lord is like this:

there are times

when we feel like that tree that grows on the bank of a glorious, flowing river;

and then there are times

when we feel like a dry bush in a desert where there’s not a drop of water in sight.

.

Both situations can, however, can be of great spiritual significance.

Both can be instances of grace, of truth, of fulfilment.

.

The first helps us realise how much God loves us

and how thankful we should be to Him;

the second helps us determine how deep our love for the Lord is;

realise how much we need Him;

and discover how lifeless our soul is without Him.

.

Indeed, treasure all such moments.

Thirst for the Lord, always,

let your whole being long for Him,

even when it feels like you are in a dry and parched land where there is no water.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…
