Psalm 63:1-8

TEXT I tried to find a blog that I wrote about 4 years ago called "Backpack God" but could not find it, the basic idea was that God was nothing more than the backpack I carry with me wherever I go. If I need something I just get it out of my backpack, use it, then throw the backpack over my shoulder and get on with my day. I never leave my house with out my backpack and wouldn't think about coming to church without it! But in all honesty I don't need my backpack to survive and it has no real impact on my life unless I absolutley need something out of it. Most of the time it sits on my floor at work or slung over a chair at my house. When I really think about it...this is how I treat God most of the time as well. I love the passion in Psalm 63. When I read words like this I can't help but envy the feelings the writer has for the Lord. What is like to "long" for God? My NET Bible uses the word yearn, have you ever yearned for God? I never feel this way about "Backpack God"...
