Psalm 42:2 (KJ21)

Psalm 42:2 (NAS)
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?

Psalm 42:2 (NIVUS)
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?

Psalm 42:2 (NLT)
I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and stand before him?

Every living thing has a vital need for water. Often the thirst for this life sustaining fluid drives creatures to extreme measures to obtain it. Many people do not realize that an ever growing relationship with Adonai, the Almighty God, is the most vital need of all.

With every breath that you take, you should thirst for the presence of the One True God. In Him you find the power, might, and strength that you need. He is the only One who keeps you alive. He revives, refreshes, and restores you continually. He nourishes and preserves you.

The Lord your God has already prepared the way for you to come before Him. The way of salvation in Jesus Christ allows you entrance to the King's throne. Adonai desires to see your face and you long to behold Him. You know that this experience will bring you great joy. As you spend time coming before the Lord, your view will change and you receive new vision. You will see the dawning of God's favor in your life, as you abide with Him.
