TOPIC: *A PANTING HEART*
"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you." Psalm 42:1.
*MESSAGE*
A move we must take if we want to serve God with a coordinated heart and mind is to be willing to get in touch with the deep thirst for God which resides at the core of our being. You can never serve God with your heart until you become intensely aware of this deep inner thirst.
The Hebrew meaning of the word 'pant' suggests a desire so intense that it is very audible. Do you serve God in a way that everything else in life takes second place? As the deer crave for water during a prolonged drought, so is God expecting your heart to crave for Him even in the midst of crises and scarcity.
Judah found rest in God after he swore with a passionate heart to seek the Lord. (2 Chronicles 15:15). When you serve God with a contrite heart, rest is inevitable. When your heart is always on God you will enjoy His continuous presence.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ When you desire to know God wholeheartedly, you will equally secure His whole attention.
*SCRIPTURES*
Psalm 73:24-28; 27:4; 2 Chronicles 15:15.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, thank you for grace that brought salvation to me;
2. Holy Spirit, take control of my heart and direct it into your path;
3. Father, grant me the desire to know you and to serve you with the whole of my heart.
*THE BIBLE OF THE YEAR*
Num. 33, Prov. 29, Luke 4:16-44.
