have probably walked this path growing up. We saw something that we

wanted so desperately that we thought we’d die without it. When we

expressed this to our parents, we were often met with the rolling of

eyes or sighs of exhaustion / disappointment. But have you ever realized

that we were made to crave? Just because our longings wind up on

trivial or short-sighted targets doesn’t mean we should avoid being

desperate to have something. We just need to know what we should be

desperate about. This psalm expresses a deep thirst for the Lord. The

writer is someone who has embraced the craving for God’s presence,

power, and deliverance in their life – though not in a way that makes

him bitter or that pushes God away. Let’s look at what life experiences

brought him to this place of thirst for God.
