What does it mean to long for God with our body? David expresses a deep desire, an anguish of the body, in seeking for God's honey of the heart, in psalm 63.
O God, You are my God,
earnestly I seek You;
my soul thirsts for You,
my body longs for You,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
I have seen You in the sanctuary
and beheld Your power and Your
glory.
Because Your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify You.
I will praise You as long as I live,
and in Your name I will lift up my
hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the
richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will
praise You.
On my bed I remember you;
I think of You through the watches
of the night.
Because You are my help.
I sing in the shadow of Your wings.
My soul clings to You;
your right hand upholds me.
I don't exactly know the ins and outs of this passage.
But I know Jesus aches my heart for Him. This is good. This discomfort pushes me forward... I never thought I would pray for more..more discomfort.
