Dry bones

"Beholding glory begs for lingering. The modern, fast-paced world will tempt you to rush and skim. This kind of life will make you shallow. The world does not need more widely read, shallow people. It needs deep people. 
I don't mean complex. 
I don't mean highly educated. 
I don't mean you know big words. 
I don't mean you know historical background. 
I mean you have seen glory - the glory of God in his Word. You have pondered it and felt its relation to all the parts of your life. You have been steadied and satisfied by it. You have come home. You are not frantic anymore. You are at peace in the presence of God. This is what I mean by deep. This is what the world needs." The Pleasures of God, Piper

This is my prayer for summer 2013. I need to know God more. I want to know God more. I am empty, thirsty and hungry. God give me courage and discipline to seek you daily and rest at peace in your presence. Bring life into these dry bones. Show me Your pleasures and Your glory daily.
