No Fainting

 

We have to get from fainting away in unfulfilled longing to exhilarating praise

 

It does not come with a finger snap, but it may come with a good night's sleep and a movement from one verse to the next.

 

We look upon God. We behold. We experience His unfailing love. We praise.

 

Keep moving through those verses and living them.

 

" O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;

my soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

beholding your power and glory.

Because your steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

So I will bless you as long as I live;

in your name I will lift up my hands."

Psalm 63:1-4 ESV
