Psalm 4:6-7 MSG; Why is everyone hungry for more? “More, more,” they say. “More, more.” I have God’s more-than-enough, More joy in one ordinary day.

When I was very young, my mom would make an amazing dinner and I’d hear my dad say, “I don’t like this at all, it has an awful ‘more taste’ to it.” I thought that was so funny. Well today as I read this Psalm, I thought of that. I am so hungry for more of God. More of his presence, his glory, his Word, his love, grace and mercy. Sometimes I feel like I’m stuffed full in His presence, other times I just want to sit at his feet and soak in more.

I think that’s what God wants from us. He wants us to always come wanting more of him. There is an inexhaustible supply in God’s presence today and he’s waiting for you to draw near asking for more.  He clearly says to ask largely so your joy may be full, so what are you waiting for. Don’t ask for riches, a new car or a new joy, just ask for more of Him. He said to seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and then all these ‘things’ will be added to you. So get your priorities straight and go after God.

Father, sometimes I get so selfish in my thoughts and prayers, like a child wanting the newest toy instead of just crawling up into daddy’s lap and spending time with him. So I crawl into your lap today, lavishing all of my love on you, knowing that you alone can satisfy the longing in my soul. I want to go around mirroring your love to everyone else because they need to see you like I do; a fun, loving daddy who just wants to be with us, talk with us, love on us. So I ask today that your love would ooze out of my skin, that I would be your biggest fan, displaying you as a lamp to a dark room. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen
