Grace for your spirit September 4, 2008

As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? Psalms 42:1-2

David was spending his days crying. He was being ridiculed for being deserted by his God. He was in despair and had lost his praise. He remembered when he used to lead the worship in the house of God. He asked why his soul was so deeply disturbed. Then he remembered he needed to hope in God and praise Him again. Many times we say we are thirsting for the living God, but are we really truthful? What is keeping us from being in worship and Bible study? What are we experiencing that God couldn’t handle if we gave it all to Him? How can we stop our despair and the ridicule we are receiving for our unfaithfulness? Let's hope in God and praise Him again. Then we will feel the refreshment of His presence.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
