Thoughts for another day
September 1, 2010
Today's verse: Ps. 63:1. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
From before You founded the world O LORD God, You are my God. You created me with love in Your mind and had the choicest things in store for me. When You placed us in the Garden of Eden, You had deemed that its beauty would simply enthrall me and make me long for the things it provided; for Eden of its own accord brought forth all kinds of living creatures and teemed with abundant life. You said O Lord, ‘See I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food and to all the animals of the land, all the birds of the air, and all the living creatures that crawl on the ground, I give all the green plants for food.’ Thus You blessed me O LORD God: King of the universe; giving me dominion over all.
Our sin and our fall made You sad, very sad, but You put into action a plan You had made before the world began that would save me. In time, You gave me Your Own beloved and precious Son, Jesus Christ to die on my behalf and save me from the catastrophe sin had brought to me. You saved me from every danger and kept Your watchful eye over me to see that I didn’t arrive on harm’s path. You led me as a Father and sustained me year after year, all these years that have gone by since the time You first created Adam.
O God, then You touched the hearts of a few of Your begotten and You laid in their hearts a love for You. A love in consonance with the free will You gave them; a love that excited them despite the bleak things of the world. From across ages You reserved men and women who would deny their own ambitions in life and make Your goal a part of their lives O Lord. And so today we who behold this reflection are like that O Lord and we want to do Your will. We crave to call You Abba Father; we long to see Your face. Tears of joy fill our hearts as we behold You in the eyes of our minds and look at Your immense love and mercy for us.
Truly O LORD God, Yahweh God, You are my God; and I will seek You with all my heart. My soul doth thirst for You, my flesh craves for You in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. My entire being longs to hold Your blessed hand in the palms of which my name is engraved and look into Your eyes my God and behold the love in them. And like Your great ones dwelling with You, say, ‘Bid me come Lord’ and I shall arise and return to You.
