Soak Up the Son

 

This is me all dressed in my beach outfit. There's a popular saying around summer time. I hear a lot of people talking about "soaking up the sun".  In fact, there's even a song about it. This got me thinking. We should be soaking up the son. The SON of God! :) There's one particular man in the Bible that comes to my mind when I think about soaking up the "son". David was a man after God's own heart.

In Psalm 63:1-8 David says -
"You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched 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. I will be fully 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. I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me."

Now that is a man who is wanting intimacy with his creator! When I think about what it means  to "soak", I think of a sponge. We should be like sponges, soaking in the word of God. David couldn't get enough of God. He said he thirst for God, he LONGED for God. We should be soaking in the word of God so much that we over flow. What are you waiting for, go soak up the SON! :)
