Hungering after righteousness and longing for God. Today I am contemplating the intense desire for the Lord's presence in our lives, and what better place to go for an understanding of such a longing than to the Psalms, and the words of a more recent pastor… Charles Spurgeon.
David wrote and sang often in his psalms about living in the house of the Lord, and we realize that this was his great desire. Now as Christians our body has become the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the reality of God residing with us is more than David’s hope, or a distant dream… it is reality. To the Christian the question becomes this; do we long to live in God’s house (our bodies) with Him as David did, or do we treat Him like a guest that we love to see come, but whose leaving is a relief to us?
