Thirst for God [Psalm 63:1]

Psalm 63:1 [ESV]
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Consider
Imagine being thirsty, desperate for a drink of water, but you can't find any. Will you continue searching for water or will you give up? Will all of you be devoted to finding water or will you be complacent or nonchalant about it? I imagine you will have an earnest, intense desire and drive to find water. Why? Finding water will be vital to quench your thirst and for your survival. David described his need for God similarly. Not a momentary need. But, an every moment, day-by-day, life-long need. 

Questions
How would you describe your need for God? 
How earnestly do you seek him?

Prayer
Dear God, cause us to be desperate for you. Desperate to grow in intimacy with you. Cause us to earnestly seek you today and each day. Earnestly seek you so that we can be near your heart. May we get so close that we can feel your "heartbeat" and your "breath". So, may 2014 be a year of us earnestly seeking for and drinking from You, the only One who truly satisfies!
