“As the deer pants for streams of water
so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
-Psalm 42:1-2 ESV

A Time to Think… “Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that  unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”  ―Blaise Pascal, 17th Century Philosopher

A Time to Act… We must search after God with passion and tenacity.  Are you panting after and thirsting for the living God?  Jesus promised in Luke 11:9 that if they’ll ask, they will receive; if they’ll seek, they will find; and if they’ll knock, the door will be opened to them. He did not say this would be easy or that truth would be served up on a silver platter. No, the answer to their spiritual quest will come if they persistently look for it and yearn for it. The prophet Jeremiah said, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” —make this day one of seeking to fill your heart with God’s truth!

A Time to Pray… O Lord, keep my eyes on you, keep my heart filled with the wonders of your love, and fill my mind with determination to seek you daily and passionately. Only in You will my yearnings be met, and only in You will I find a daily joy the world cannot give. I pray this in your mighty name, AMEN.
