What Do You Crave?

They will not hunger or thirst, neither will mirage (mislead) or scorching wind or sun smite them; for He Who has mercy on them will lead them, and by springs of water will He guide them (Isaiah 49:10)  
God doesn't want us to desire anything more than we desire Him. It's not that we shouldn't want things, it's just that we shouldn't want them more than we want Him. He desires for us to live in the reality of His presence every day of our lives and to be thoroughly satisfied with WHO HE IS! We actually thirst for God, but if we do not realize that He is the One we crave, we can be easily misled, the way a mirage misleads thirsty travelers in the desert. Satan can deceive us by making us focus on things that will never truly satisfy. Nothing can satisfy us apart from God, so we must set our minds to seek Him. If we give Him first place in our desires, thoughts, conversations, and choices, our thirst will truly be quenched and we will not be led astray. We have legitimate needs and God wants to meet them. If we seek His face, we will find that His hand is always open to us. However, if we seek things, we can be easily deceived and may find that we have wasted a great deal of our lives being led by mirages, things that appeared to be what we needed but turned out to be nothing at all. Seek the Giver of Life and all else will come. God has everything we need!!
