Following Hard after God

I read something today that I really liked and want an easy way to find it if I need to refer to it in the future. I nearly always love what Priscilla Shirer writes.

David's focus wasn't on his circumstances or what he expected God to do about them; it was on God Himself. He never became so disillusioned with the circumstances of his life that he stopped seeking to know God. Even when he felt as if God was no longer speaking and he couldn't figure out why, the consuming passion of his heart was still to follow hard after God.

You know when you're seeking something other than God when you're in one of those "in-between" stages where nothing seems to be happening and God doesn't seem to be speaking, so you stop pursuing Him. This indicates that you're more interested in what you think He is going to do for you than you are in knowing Him in order to have an intimate relationship with Him. To discern God's voice, you have to get your priorities straight. You have to want Him, His glory, and a relationship with Him more than you want anything else.

"With all my heart I have sought you" Psalm 119:10
