A Closer Walk with Christ in 2026
Psalms 42:1-2
As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after thee, O God. Psalms 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
A thirst for God. What a great desire! This is what is missing in our country today. Men have come to the place where a little is enough. A little Bible reading, a little time in church, and little time in prayer, a little time with God. That is the reason we are so weak today, and the reason our nation has fallen away from God. Christians have not stood up to proclaim their biblical principles, and as a result, we have lost our basic freedoms in our schools, in the workplace, in churches. Preachers are afraid to preach hard against the sins of our nation for fear that they will be prosecuted for “hate crimes.” Businessmen and women are being taken to court for standing up for their principles on standard biblical truths such as marriage only between a man and a woman. They are being prosecuted for taking a stand on abortion and the murder of unborn babies.
When will we come back to the Lord and seek Him as David did by crying out with a thirst for the living God? When will we begin to change and seek God while He may be found? When will we stand up and let it be known that we trust in the living God who has all power and can do all things?
I believe the time is now. Will you join David in his quest for God? Will you begin to cry out to God today and say, My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
We want to be like David and seek You, Lord. Help us to stand up and be one of the faithful ones who seek You with a thirst for God!
