Thirsty?
By Gregg on Feb 10, 2009 in Featured, Thoughts
I’ve continued thinking about what my soul craves. I believe just about every human craves much the same things. We express those cravings in a pretty diverse manner but ultimately we’re all much the same. We were all shaped in the same pattern after all, Genesis says we’re made in God’s image. I’ve looked up several passages in God’s Word today all having to do with spiritual desire. The scripture that follows challenges me with its completeness hopefully it will challenge you as well. More to follow.
Psalm 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
What I just realized from reading what you wrote was that the two things that I crave most in life, respect and a sense of community, are derived from being made in His image and likeness. If God didn’t want respect, it wouldn’t be in the First Commandment. If he didn’t want community, he wouldn’t have created us, or offered Himself for our redemption.
