Inspire them to want so much more than what's normal.

If you catch yourself wondering why you want more of the world and you're not satisfied with God, it's because you have a spiritual problem.

David cuts through all the many needs, wants, and desires that may have been bouncing around inside him and essentially says, "If I could have only one thing, I want to be with God, to be in His presence, to know that he is always with me." Whether in good times or bad times, David knew the thing he needed most: to feel God's presence close by, intimately, through worship.

We may claim to believe in God, but we don't want to believe so much that it makes us different.

If you want to be different, if you want to be better than normal, then you must live differently.

I can promise you this: If you really, sincerely, genuinely want God back, He hasn't moved. He's still there, just like always, ready to bear-hug you again, just like in the old days.

Extreme measures bring extreme results. If you want a normal life, do what normal people do. If you want to know God intimately, walk with Him daily, and please Him in every way, you're going to have to do what few do. Absolutely nothing.
