THE PILGRIMS GUIDE
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2026
SEEKING GOD ABOVE WORLDLY PURSUITS
A WORD FROM THE WORD:
"Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God. My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?" Psalm 42:1 BBE.
One of the major signs evincing salvation of the human soul is hunger for God. It is about ever longing for God and always desiring to be in His presence. The psalmist compares it as 'the deer pants for streams of water,' (Psalm 42:1 NIV). Those who hunger for God are blessed because they shall be filled, this implies that God is willing to fill your vacuum if only you first recognise that an emptiness exists in you that needs to be filled. You must thirst for the filling and also make yourself available for it.
Many of God's people do not enjoy this filling because they neither thirst for God nor recognise the emptiness and vacuum in their Christian life. So many are poor, needy and shallow; the larger number are empty; yet they make so much noise around and therefore fail to seek to be filled. Anything that is stagnant has the tendency to diminish even if it is not leaking, and except it is refilled, it may finish and disaster sets in. This is very true of God's children and servants (especially) who never take a break to refill.
Hunger for constant revival of the spirit man is what is needed for God to help one to stay fresh and current in the spirit.
Love for God and constant desire for a higher ground and level of walk with Him are few of the things that stir up hunger for God. The hungrier you are, the more of God you find. Have you examined your hunger level for God lately?
How thirsty are you for God compared to worldly pursuits and desires? Emptiness in spiritual things will lead to emptiness in all other things. But when you find God, you will find every other thing you are looking for. Conversely, if you reject God, you will lose all, plus your eternity.
PRAYER BULLETS:
Loving Father, reveal more of Yourself to me. Help me to love You more than life itself, may I never be barren of good things in destiny.
FURTHER READING:
Psalm 42:1-8; Matthew 5:1-6; Psalm 27:4.
