Addicted To God

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Psalm 84:1-2


Once you have tasted just a small morsel of what it is like to abide with your Creator, to live life as you were originally created to live with purpose and meaning and fulfillment, once you have had the privilege of experiencing God’s awesome love in your life; you will not be able to stop the quest to know Him more. You will indeed become addicted to God, just as the psalmist so eloquently describes here about His personal yearning and desire for God’s presence in His life. Even still, remember that just as strong as your desire is to know and love God more, that your enemy has a desire to distract your attention and steal your joy and you must not discount his attempts to sideline you in the battle for your heart because if you do, then he will win the battle for the effectiveness of your life even though Jesus has already won the war. So, with that in mind, fight today like you have never fought before to stay focused on God and to abide in His love as He will give you the strength to overcome if you will just trust in Him. Give in to the addiction today to know and love God more and you will see His love overflow from your heart and ignite the hearts of others who are lost and in desperate need of a Savior.
