Longing
As the deer longs for streams of water so I long for You God! Psalm 42:1
I remember the story about a preacher who was teaching a young bible student about passion for God. He took him for a long drive out into a lonely place and then down to a pool of water. He bid the student to get into the water, then submerge under the water. The preacher then held him under the water and the young man began to struggle. Finally the preacher let him up, gasping for air.
The preacher said, ' when you long for God like you did for air you will see the greatness of God.'
The more I press into God the more He takes me to a desperate place and says: 'trust me.' I know that if I do trust Him I experience a deeper level of His love and I stand on the cliff and watch Him to great things in my life.
My challenge is not running, in panic to others or my own efforts. What a challenge! But I know, if I can just hold on, hang on, I know Him more and then He moves in delight. Such a lover!
