Thirsting for God

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London

Thirsting for God!

Reference Ps 63:1-4

David expressed a deep longing to seek the Lord, saying, "My soul longs, my flesh sighs, and my body faints for You." This spiritual attitude reflects a desire to yearn for Him like a stream in a scorching desert, a waterless and troubled land seeking relief, or a barren, trackless dry land. Such devotion is only possible by keeping Him in the first and foremost place, always declaring Him as our Lord and God.

David had every reason to be completely surrounded by and magnify Him wholeheartedly. He witnessed His Power and Glory while worshiping in the wilderness. He discovered the secret to remaining in the sanctuary, seeking Him, and gazing upon Him in the temple. Moses pleaded with the Lord, saying, "Please show me YOUR Glory" (Exodus 33). Isaiah saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted (Isaiah 6). John proclaimed that "The WORD became flesh and made His dwelling among us" (John 1:14).

Once we experience Him and witness His lovingkindness and favor, it becomes almost impossible to choose the world over the Word. A Christ-centered attitude naturally flows from this profound encounter.

Hence David expressed in V3, Your unfailing Love, steadfast Love, Loving devotion is better than life. Your favour, faithful love, constant love is more than life to me. I Praise You. My lips shall Praise thee.

He is radical in Worship, hence said to the Lord- Here I am in the place of Worship, eyes open, drinking in Your strength and Glory. In Your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountain. I bless You every time I take breath; My arms wave like banner of Praise to You! I will sing praise to You and not be silent, I will give thanks unto You forever!

For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol (Ps 86:13). This highlights how David was confident and sought God's comfort through his thoughts of Him. He experienced grace, and God empowered and honored him with the influence of favor.

In Your Name, we will praise as long as we live; lifting our hands, we call on Your Name. We will bless the Lord in Your holy sanctuary like an evening offering. In God, we have boasted all day long. Exalt You, our God and King, every day! We will continually offer a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess His Name! Amen!

God's Spirit is right alongside!

God's Spirit is right alongside! Reference: Rom 8:26 MSG - Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. Have we ever been so overwhelmed that words simply escape us? In those moments of deep pain or confusion, Romans 8:26-28 offers profound comfort: the Spirit of God stands right beside us. We are never left to face this life on our own. This passage reveals that when our prayers seem to go unanswered and our understanding falters, the Holy Spirit steps in. He does not remain a distant observer in heaven; He intercedes on our behalf with groans too deep for words, conveying the cries of our hearts in a language the Father fully understands. Hallelujah!!! The beauty of our partnership with the Triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit—lies in His divine perspective and purpose. God sees the greater picture that remains hidden from our limited view. While we often focus on immediate results, He is orchestrating events with an eternal v...

The God Who Stoops to See

The God Who Stoops to See Reference Ps 113:1-3 (AMP)- Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord. From this time forth and forever. From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the Lord is to be praised [with awe-inspired reverence]. The ancient Psalmist gives us that perspective in Psalm 113. It is a short chapter, but it packs a punch that can completely recalibrate our view of God and, consequently, our view of ourselves. There are days when life feels incredibly small. We get lost in the minutiae of our to-do lists, the weight of our worries, and the echo of our own inadequacies. We look at the mountains we need to climb—the career goals, the relationship hurdles, the personal healing—and we feel like specks of dust at the base of a giant. It’s in these moments of feeling insignificant that we desperately need a new perspective. This isn't a quiet, polite suggestion. It is a declaration of...
