Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

October 22, 2009

Today has been a busy day. I have been working on my computer files cleaning them up, sorting, etc, in between loads of laundry and dishes. I didn't do the dishes after supper last night with it being church night and then I didn't feel like doing them after we got home, so I let them soak til today. So I had 2 loads for today! While I up to hang a dryer load, the shadows of the sun setting over the field next door caught my eye out the window. So, I dropped what I was doing and took the camera out to snap some pictures. Well, the picture I saw in the house wasn't so dramatic once I was outside. I ended up walking around the church property looking for something interesting to photograph. It was beautiful out today. The birds were really busy. I spotted a cardinal and tried to get a good picture but when I raised my arms to snap the picture it flew into the thicket. I tried to get closer, but it didn't want to cooperate with me! Cardinals are so pretty! I don't think it is just because red happens to be my favorite color, either! The markings are beautiful! I still think our Lord is the most famous artist! How blessed I am to have eye sight to enjoy His wonders! Thank You, Lord!
