It does not matter what is happening today, nor does not matter where people are in respect to us at any time. Circumstances do not have the power to distract us. We may let that happen, but they cannot force it. My dear friends, there is only one life: Only one! Death can usurp itself, but for the life of you and me, he must not usurp himself over us and our longing and hunger for God. This is the quintessential reality to hunger and thirst for God. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” (Mt 5:6) That only comes from the Lord our God and Maker. He is here. But what if we do not care if He is here? As Christians, what do we live for if not for Him? What do we hunger for if not for Him? What do we long for if not Him? He is everything from the beginning clear through to the end. Our soul longs for the presence of God. Our spirit hungers and thirsts for the presence of God.



When we arise in the morning, let it be to welcome the day with Him. When we lay in our bed at night, let our last thought be Him. If you have children, a husband or a wife, you have 24 hours to love them all that you would want. But, in this moment of such a sacred time, when it is just Him and you, what better moment can it be than to hunger for Him. Hunger for fellowship with Him. Hunger to hear His voice, to know His heart and mind, and to know His will and be following it. He is our God. He is our God. He is the One who lives to satisfy our every longing to bring you into His Kingdom and to know Him as His Son knew Him.



How wonderful He is! How glorious are His presence and Spirit! How wonderful He is! Our hearts express songs of love and adoration, and we laud His praises because we love Him. We know the goodness that He is to us. We love Him and want to see, learn of, and understand Him.



He calls us into His chambers that we may have all that our hearts would desire in the midst. We may love husband, wife, children, and grandchildren, but they cannot enter where Christ alone can enter. He alone can enter those secret corridors and chambers in our hearts. He alone has that right. He alone has that ability,



Friends, relatives, houses, lands, cars, and jobs—none of these things can grip the very depths of our soul and be Lord of them. God does so to reveal Himself as our Maker and Creator. He answers prayer to remind you that He is here, that He is God, and He can answer prayer. Moreover, your prayers are important to Him. He calls you to Himself that He might reveal to you the sacred and the secret things of Himself to satisfy your every longing for Him.



Cry out to Him: “God, bring me into Your chambers! Cause me to hunger for You! Help me to yearn to know You as You yearn to know me! I am nothing! You are everything! Help me, Lord! Be my King, be my God, be my Lord! You are all things good! I am weak You are strong!” Talk to Him in these ways as one who knows. He longs to reveal Himself to us, and He longs for us to hunger for Him as He hungers for us.



David knew the responsibilities of running the kingdom and knew that his life depended on his relationship with the Father. It was his job to bring the Father to the people, and he wanted to be with the Father. So I say unto you tonight, cry out for God, cry out for Yeshua, cry out for Adonai! Cry out for the One who loves you until He satisfies you.



Prayer:

Father, we thank You for the moments we will be together, even this night. Help us do Your will to fill up the cup that You prepared for us and see it poured out as blessings upon this nation, Israel, and the nations of the earth, Lord. Help us to satisfy Your hunger in Your precious name, amen.



In Him,
