Fellowship With God<br />

As the hart panteth after the water<br />

brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.<br />

My soul thirsteth for God, for the liv<strong>in</strong>g God:<br />

when shall I come and appear before God? (Ps.<br />

42:1-2, KJV).<br />

Who put that desire with<strong>in</strong> David? Who put<br />

the desire <strong>in</strong> you? Was it a man or was it a<br />

m<strong>in</strong>istry or maybe the church? The answer is an<br />

emphatic no. It was God who put the desire <strong>in</strong><br />

your heart to worship Him.<br />

Some are still worshipp<strong>in</strong>g other th<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />

Some worship money, cars, shopp<strong>in</strong>g, houses or<br />

does not already belong to Him? My special<br />

ability or song is not go<strong>in</strong>g to br<strong>in</strong>g Him glory<br />

that He has not already received. All of creation<br />

is <strong>His</strong>. The entire earth and the heavens belong<br />

to Him. All creatures were made by Him. All<br />

ano<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g, all power and all honor is <strong>His</strong>.<br />

Have you ever spent ten m<strong>in</strong>utes th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g<br />

about the majesty of God or about <strong>His</strong> vastness?<br />

He is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent!<br />

All-know<strong>in</strong>g, all-powerful and everywhere at one<br />

time! It's m<strong>in</strong>d-blow<strong>in</strong>g to realize the <strong>in</strong>credible,<br />
