ALL-CONSUMING PASSION

"As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, O God. I thirst for God, the living God."  (Psalm 42:1-2a NLT)

What has your attention at this very moment? This reading? Perhaps, but we all know that we can give modest attention to several things at once. We eat, read, and listen for the phone all at the same time. When our search for something consumes all our energy and all our faculties, everything else fades away and disappears. Even a ringing phone goes unanswered when we are seeking to give answer to another call deep within. What are you searching for that consumes all your energy and attention? The quest for God is a search worthy of such all-consuming passion and energy. 

-- Norman Shawchuck and Rueben P. Job in “A Guide to Prayer for All Who Seek God”
