THIRSTY

Have you been in a weary place? Where your resources have dried up? Where everything with life has been cut off?

David turns to God in that place and is reminded that God is his Almighty God. We need to know who He is. Don't ever forget that.

David is seeking God. He isn't waiting for somebody else to. David wants a breakthrough. But he isn't waiting around for someone else to.

If you have a breakthrough at church and there is a draft that pulls others in. Don't wait for others to go out and seek him and you be the one who begins the breakthroughs. Don't be shy.

Only we can encourage the thirst and hunger for God. If we want to be satisfied then we need to remember that God is their God. If you forget that then you will find something else to quench your thirst and that usually isn't a good thing.

It is a lie when Satan tells you that God has forgotten about you. He wants you to turn away from God. He is the true source of true life.

Read- Psalms 63:2

When you have had such an encounter that you have seen the power of God you can take strength from that moment and use it all of your life. You can reflect on your testimony and feel His power. You can feel something in your spirit when you or someone else tells their testimony.

When God has shown you things you need to hold on to them because He has given you promises.

Read- Acts 2:43

"Everyone was filled with awe"

We over use the word "awe".
When God touches you and your heart, you are filling with awe. We are so awestruck when He touches us. He is so awesome. Awe is meant to be used as a term for worship.

Read- Psalm 63:3

When you see His glory you speak of it.

The relationship between God and you is greater than life it self.

When you need to confess, do so to the God at the cross then you will confess out of your mouth the amazing wonderful works of God. Praise God in His name all the time even in the worse times. Your heart will be filled with great riches but not worldly ones when you do so.

God is so good but we should have faith in that even when the world is crashing down.

Read- Psalms 63:6

Sometimes we are sprayed with spiritual amnesia. Then we snap out of it with a word or praise to God. Then you know that God is your God.

Sometimes we are so busy that we can't hear God. The last thing you should do before you go to sleep you should think of God. God could meet us in out sleep and even God can have your dreams reflect on what God wants to do.

The shadow of God's wings can be found anywhere you seek His face.

Find the shadow and sing even if you have no music or if your alone or if you sing awfully, it will still be beautiful to God's ears. Singing when it is dry and weary helps quench the thirst. If you don't feel anything when your singing God still deserves the worship. When it isn't dry still praise God.
