Remember and Thirst

Psalm 143:
[5] I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
[6] I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.


Never forget what God has done for you. Remember the days of old. Meditate on the works that God has done for you. He has performed mighty miracles throughout Bible history, and He is still the same God in 2011. We cannot let ourselves get to the point where we start making God smaller, or putting Him in a box. He is all mighty and all powerful. He will reign forever. The second we start putting limits on Him and undermining the power, is the very second that we lose out. When we begin to put the human race as more important than God, we lose out.
Think about it: God created everything on the earth. Now, How could we put a creation above the Creator himself? It isn't logical.

Once we have found and can maintain the mindset of His marvelous works and wonder, we will thirst after His righteousness, power, glory, pleasure, joy, knowledge, wisdom, comfort, peace, mercy, goodness, etc. We will not be able to go weeks without kneeling down in prayer. We will not be able to go days without reading God's word. Do you ever wonder why God used the word "thirst" in the Bible to explain our desire for Him? A human can only survive 2-10 days with NO water (variations based on temperature, health conditions, etc.). Someone will literally dehydrate and die if they do not get enough to drink. Can you imagine how thirsty you would be if you went that long with no water? Now, compare this to spiritually. We cannot afford to go very long without tasting the Word and the Lord's goodness. We will spiritually dehydrate.

Summary:
Do not put limits on God. Remember His marvelous works. Don't forget what He has brought you through.
Thirst after those good things that He has done. Don't sell yourself short, His wonders go forevermore.
If you go too long, you will spiritually dehydrate.
