Passionate Desires!

Consider the insatiable desire of the soul for God and remember that only God can satisfy the soul. We all need to consider what are the driving passions of our lives and if we give God his rightful place.

Psalms 63 - A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee,

my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory,

so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalms 143:6

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

Psalms 33:20

Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.

Psalms 25:1 - A Psalm of David.

Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

Psalms 103:1-2 - A Psalm of David.

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Psalms 103:22

Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

Psalms 63:8-9

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Psalms 62:1 - To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
