LONGING FOR GOD
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 27TH JUNE 2017
TOPIC: LONGING FOR GOD
SCRIPTURE: O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary - Psalm 63:1-2
MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 55:1
DIGGING DEEEP: Do you know there is a realm where by you are looking for God not because of what He can, or should or will do for you but because you just need Him. A point of total emptiness without Him. A state of reckless abandonment unto God.
Our longing for intimacy and closeness is evidence of our strong and driving need for God's presence!
If you have tasted God, you will want to taste Him over and over again. When we have tasted God, we want more of God (Psalm 34:8). Many followers of Jesus abandoned Him when He explained the spiritual principle of being hungry for God (John 6). Do you know that too often we are hungry to see the works of God and not hungry for Him? Being hungry for God is much harder than to be hungry for the works of God (what we need Him to do for us). Being hungry is an ongoing relationship to know God and His presence.
Those who long for what God should do for them can get disappointed and give up on God. But those who are hungry for the person of God can never give up on God. They trust Him in everything and for everything.
The secret to Supernatural dimensions is in hunger for God. Longing for God is the secret of deep and undisconnectable relationship with God. It is the secret to spiritual freshness.
Longing for God can be likened to the experience of been trapped in a building filled with smoke as soon as that individual comes into a ventilated area there is a longing for fresh air and for life. For such a one, nothing else matters, not what people are saying, who is looking at him or who is not. He is not interested in any other thing but desperately looking for life. So it is with longing for God. One in which anything other than God chokes you. It is a desperacy for revival and intimacy.
Our text reveals that those who thirst for God, will long for Him. It also reveals to us that longing for God is beyond just a Church experience, those who truly yearn for God wants to replicate encounters in God's presence as their everyday experience. It simply means that if you truly long for God, you will do all you can to have His ever abiding presence.
Longing is the secret behind rugged and undauntable commitment unto God. It is possible to be committed to the work of God and not long for God. But you can never long for God and not be committed unto Him.
Finally, anything that can stop your longing for God is an enemy of your relationship with Him.
PRAYER: Give me a deep hunger for you in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: Hunger for God keeps you alive unto God-Dr. Dabbas Joel
