Thirst for God [Psalm 63:2-4]

Psalm 63:2-4 
So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary, 
beholding Your power and glory.
Because Your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise You.
So I will bless You as long as I live;
in Your name I will lift up my hands.
 
Questions:
What is your habitual response towards God? Is it awe or apathy? Is it trust or frustration? Is it praise or disapproval?
How deep, intense is your longing to truly know God?
What do you do to satisfy this longing?

Encouragement:
David wrote this psalm while in the wilderness of Judah. Think about his location and his response (read from verse 1-4 for now). It is safe to say that David's habitual response toward God was awe, trust, praise. Our response can and should be as well.

Prayer:
Dear God, cause us to grow in awe, trust, praise toward You. Give us a deep, intense longing to truly know You. So, we will look to You, not elsewhere, to satisfy this longing. Hear this prayer today. Thanks! Amen!
