"Yearning for God"

Psalms 63 [A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.] You know something that I really love about my relationship with Jesus, is that He gives you whatever you need, at the exact time you need it! For the most part, we don't really know what we need; we know what we want, and we have no problem making those wants known to God; but what we need, those things we seldom have any idea how to ask for them, even if we did know what they were. This particular Psalm was written regarding a very strange time in David's life; and according to the note I wrote in my Bible, this time was recorded in 1 Samuel 22:5, which was right after David raised a small army of about four hundred men; most of whom were men that were in distress, or in debt, or discontent (1 Samuel 22:2). I know that this introduction says "wilderness of Judah", but you have got to understand, this was not a desert or something like that, it was a forest; an uninhabited plain country, fit for feeding flocks. Prior to going here, David was hiding out in a cave, until the prophet of Gad told him to depart into the land of Judah. Sometimes what we really need is for God to give us a little different perspective; that all, just change our view point of who God is, or who we are in God; or how God provides for our needs, even when we don't even know what we need. David needed a little different perspective on who he was; who it was that God had called him to be, and why it was that God had chosen him to be king. Just prior to hanging out in that cave, David had pretended to be insane in Gath; while hiding out there, he overheard them saying, "Is this not David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?" (1 Samuel 21:11). To be perfectly honest, what I know that I need, is to have a closer walk with Jesus! I am sure that I could always use that, no matter how close I think that I might be, I can always be drawn closer, and closer, and closer. That's what "yearning" for something does to us, we want to be closer to whatever it is; or we want to be filled by, or comforted by, whatever or whomever we are yearning for; and in the case of "yearning for God", sometimes we just need a closer walk with Him; just a little one-on-one time together, back out in the fields, back out in the wilderness, or out where the flocks feed; that would be nice...
"Mary was standing outside the tomb crying, and as she wept, she stooped down and looked in. She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been lying. "Dear woman, why are you crying?" the angels asked her. "Because they have taken away my Lord," she replied, "and I don't know where they have put Him." She turned to leave and saw someone standing there. It was Jesus, but she did not recognize Him. "Dear woman, why are you crying?" Jesus asked her. "Who are you looking for?" She thought he was the gardener. "Sir," she said, "if you have taken Him away, tell me where you have put Him, and I will go get Him." "Mary!" Jesus said. She turned to Him and cried out, "Rabboni!" (which is Hebrew for "Teacher".) (John 20:11-16) NLT
