If you have ever hiked in the desert in the summer you know that the number one rule is to drink lots of water. Recently the heat wave has moved east where it is more humid, but one still needs to obey rule number one. The psalmist said, "...my soul thirsts for you (Lord)..." So what is the difference between my body or my soul being thirsty? I satisfy my body by turning on the water tap, but what about my soul? Does it need satisfying too? What is my soul? Is it the real me?
Interesting that the psalmist thirsted for the Lord. What else could have satified his soul? What else would I want to satisfy my soul? I will try and follow the example from Psalms and thirst for God!
Since the chemo treatments have ceased for the present, I was looking forward to returning to a
somewhat normal lifestyle. So why am I still fatigued and achy? The doctor said that it takes time to rid the body of the chemicals. So what is my excuse for not seeking and thirsting after my Lord? As we used to say in the military, "No excuse, sir." Guess that is me!
Thank you for praying, and please continue. There are still some tough decisions to be made concerning my future.
