My heart and my flesh
cry out for the living God- PSALM 84:2
Have you ever been underwater for a
period of time that is longer than you expected? You know, as the time ticks
away, how desperate you become to reach the surface and breathe the air. The greater the time you are under water, the
more you long for a breath of air until that desire overwhelms you, and you rush
to get to the surface as rapidly as possible.
You have no other thoughts but quenching your need for air.
That is
what it means to “long for God,” to feel unfulfilled without Him. It means we know we desperately need Him,
even more than we need air, and we yearn to be filled with His presence. “My heart and my flesh cry out for the living
God.”
God
wants us to be satisfied with nothing less than Himself. And we are never more fulfilled than when we
know Him. Ask God to give you a new
hunger for Him, so you may become filled with “the fullness of Christ” (Eph
4:13)
