I always read this Psalm with jealousy -- I want this same desire for God. We all do, right? We long to have this type of intimacy, to seek after God as a parched traveler in the wilderness.
It's easy to assume that David had some type of special relationship, but God offers us the same grace and love that David found. David pursued it with passion, with consistency, with purpose.
May we do the same -- may we awake every morning and give thanks for the God who pursues us, who saves us, who redeems us from the pit. In time, we grow in intimacy, and the more we look to the cross, the more we are amazed at the love God offers us and the way God has pursued us, even at great cost. Such awareness of such love gives us thirst, and leads us deeper into God's steadfast love.
