Psalm 63:1
“O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You…”
One of the greatest dangers in ministry is not that we stop working for God, it is that we slowly stop longing for Him.
We can become experts at preparing worship while neglecting worship. We can study God’s Word to teach it without allowing it to first search our own hearts. Ministry can fill our calendars while quietly emptying our souls.
David wrote Psalm 63 from the wilderness. Surrounded by dryness, he discovered that his deepest need was not a change in circumstances, but the presence of God.
Before you help others encounter Him today, take a moment to seek Him for yourself.
A prayer for today:
Lord, awaken a fresh hunger for Your presence. May my greatest desire always be to know You more deeply, and may that longing shape the way I lead today. Amen.
