September 17: Jeremiah 46-47; Psalm 63; 1 Peter 1

Psalm 63:1
O God....my soul thirsts for you....my flesh faints for you...

Do our souls thirst for God?  Does our flesh faint for God?

This means that we realize that we have a complete dependence.....COMPLETE DEPENDENCE....on God for the very stuff of life.  This declares that we cannot live without God.

If this is our Truth, then as often as we seek to eat and drink.....we seek God.
As much time and energy as we put into our next meal and our pleasure....we give to God.

It means that God is our security, our lifebood, our nourishment.
The Psalmist calls us to consider our daily schedule and habits and to reflect on whether or not we truly hunger, thirst and desire God.

When you consider how you make decisions, how you spend your time, talents, and treasure, how you live your day: what part does God play in your life?  What is God's status in your home?
