are you trying to teach me something...

O God you are my God,
earnestly I seek You;
my soul thirsts for You,
my body longs for You,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.

I have seen You in the sanctuary and
beheld your power and Your glory.
Because Your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify You.

I will praise You as long as I live,
and in Your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise You.

On my bed I remember You;
I think of You through the watches of the night.
Because You are my help,
I sing in the shadow of Your wings.

My soul clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
Psalm 63

The Lord is trying to teach me something...I am absolutely sure of it.
This morning in my quiet time I was directed by my devotional book to read Psalm 63. "Wow...do I truly thirst and earnestly seek after the Lord?"
after some deliberation and a few minutes of meditation over these verses I was back on course for my day, shoving to the back of my mind my 'thirst for the Lord'.

finish getting ready
head to work
check the mail
blah. blah. blah

only to be stopped short when i found this exact chapter written on someone else's blog.
"okay, Lord, are you wanting me to learn something from these verses? are you trying to convict me."
thanks to the Holy Spirit working in my life I see and pray that the Lord will continue to "search me and know my heart!"
Obviously i need to be thirsting after the things of the Lord.
and with God's help may I do just that.
