Waiting on the Lord

Jesus Culture has a song called, "My soul longs for you" with very simple lyrics.

My soul longs for you
My soul longs for you
Nothing else will do
Nothing else will do

I believe you will come like the rain

You'll come like the rain

So let it rain
Let it rain

Here is the video if you want to listen.



In those times, when we find ourselves longing, painfully aware of our emptiness, do we wait for the Lord to satisfy or do we give in too quickly to something like food or entertainment?

Reading Psalm 63 today,

Psalm 63
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

You, God, are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
    my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
    where there is no water.
 I have seen you in the sanctuary
    and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
    my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

Can we join David and wait on the Lord, who alone satisfies?
