Thirst

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?" Psalm 42:1

Well, I know this photo isn't of a deer. It's a giraffe. But I took the photo myself and I love it so I'm using it! When I was in Africa I saw this giraffe bending down to drink and hopped up on the seat of my missionary friend, Barb Kuert's Land Rover, stuck my head through the top and snapped this photo before the giraffe stood up. Cool, huh?

Tomorrow morning in service, Pastor and I are going to be bringing a tag team message and within that message I'm going to talk about a thirst for God.

I want to ask you as worshippers to prepare your hearts to meet with God tomorrow, as we lead His people into His presence. There is nothing, nothing, nothing like the presence of the Lord. The presence of the Lord can do in 5 seconds what none of us could do in 5 years!

People everywhere are looking for other things, other loves, other pursuits, to satisfy their parched souls. Nothing else will do - because until you stay filled up on God you'll always be thirsty, hungry and longing.

Please spend time in prayer tonight, for tomorrow's service. Expect great things from God. As we pray for Him to show up, and we praise Him - when his presence does come, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
