Imagine you are in the desert

A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. - https://en.Wikipedia.org
Probably if you are in this place, you will feel thirsty. With this in mind, what can satisfy your thirst?
Water?

Which of the following could satisfy your thirst in the desert? But what if these are not available? What would you do? Let us answer this after reading our scripture today. Let us read our bible in Psalm 63

Water is a very important thing in this world. It has many benefits to human beings mostly in their day to day activities.

Benefits of Water

  • taking a bath
  • cooking rice
  • feeding your pets
  • drinking juice when thirsty
  • drinking coffee when sleepy
  • drinking milk before sleeping
  • and many more

Water is so beneficial to human beings. No wonder it is called as Universal Solvent.

It does makes sense now...

David used water as a metaphor for God because deep in his heart God is so beneficial to human beings. No wonder David was labeled as a person who is after God’s own heart - he is indeed a person with such awesome heart!

Dry parched land needs water, David needs God. His heart for God is worth imitating.

Human thirst could be in terms of physical or spiritual and it could be both.

Implication to Human Beings

God Provides and Satisfies our Needs

God provides our needs because He loves us so much. But He doesn’t just provide, He satisfies us with what He provides

In #Physicalworld

  • God provides us air to satisfy our needs in breathing

  • God provides us food to satisfy our needs in eating

  • God provides us water to satisfy our needs in drinking

  • God provides us nature to satisfy our needs in enjoying

  • God provides us family to satisfy our needs in loving

What else can you think what God provides us everyday?

What can we give back to God for all the things He provided us?

In #Steemitworld

  • God provides us team to satisfy our needs in learning

  • God provides us team to satisfy our needs in reading

  • God provides us team to satisfy our needs in upvoting

  • God provides us team to satisfy our needs in commenting

  • God provides us team to satisfy our needs in resteeming

What else can you think what the team provides us everyday?

What can we give back to the team for all the things they provided us?

God is indeed awesome for always providing and satisfying our needs may it be in #Physicalworld or in #Steemitworld. God sets the golden rule: Do unto to others what you want others do unto you.

Today as we face our challenges, let us thank God for all He has done and will do for us in the future. One of those is providing this amazing platform called #steemit for this is a BIG help in our Physical and Spiritual needs. Thus, all our other needs will follow as long as we are connected to the source of all the blessings - God.
