Is. 55:1-9; Ps.63:1-8; 1 Cor. 10:1-13; Luke 13:1-9
Psalm 63:1 “O God, eagerly I seek you; my soul thirsts for
you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”
People sense in their souls that
there is more to life than making money and paying bills. Some reach a point in
life where all seems dry and barren: food loses savor, dawn loses pleasure,
extreme experiences lure. But even these do not suffice. Shopping, planning,
and acquiring, we discern, only temporarily satisfy. We discover that having
does not quiet desire. Humans of all ages find themselves thirsting for the
reality underlying reality. It is a
thirst that will not be quenched. And often we search for relief in all the
wrong places…while, patiently, God waits.
O God, fountain of life, eagerly we seek you; our souls
thirsts for you as in a dry and weary land. Amen
