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.
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me - Psalm 63:1-8
There are thirsts which cannot be quenched in any water, there are questions which cannot be answered by any diligent search, there is love which cannot be earned or fathomed, there is protection and safety that has no antecedent. Only God. As Solomon wrote, He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (Eccl. 3:11) There are questions for which only God is the answer. My only response is to glorify and praise God and say that there are longings that can only satisfied by God.
