Psalm 143:6: I stretch out my hands to you; my soul gasps for you like a thirsty land.
After a rather extended dry spell here in the East of England, we are finally having some rain showers to quench the thirst of this dry land.
I could imaging the land crying out for rain and after reading this verse, began to muse over whether we do cry out for God's word enough in our lives or whether we stumble along looking more and more parched until God sends us something to remind us of our needs.
I fear the answer is far too often that we do not cry out to God asking him for help as much as we should. Yes he sees all and knows all, but unless we lift up our requests to him, we are not exercising our faith in all reality.
Think about it...
