Having Passion For God
from Preachify Daily Devotional Hosted by Preachify
When scripture talks about having a passion for God, there are a couple of terms that are often used to describe that passion — hunger and thirst. For example, in Psalm 42, the Psalmist said, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” (Psalm 42:1-2). In the Beatitudes, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” (Matthew 5:6) Passion for God involves a hungering and a thirsting on our part where we want to be close to God, so much so that it becomes the consuming passion in our lives. It’s the only thing that really matters to us, it’s the only thing we think about.
