SEEK: Goodbook 10-09-12

In worship this past week we talked about passionately seeking after God. I came across a wonderful quote that reminded me of a great passage of Scripture. I wanted to share them with you all.

“Listen, my heart: love God ceaselessly.

As the fish loveth water:

the deeper the water,

the happier and more tranquil the fish.

God alone knoweth the suffering

of fish separated from the waters.” (Nanak)

 

Psalm 63:1-8

"You, God, are my God,

    earnestly I seek you;

I thirst for you,

    my whole being longs for you,

in a dry and parched 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.

I will be fully 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.

I cling to you;

    your right hand upholds me."
 

So...how would you describe how passionately you seek after God?
