No one needs to be forced to become hungry or thirsty. We were created to long for the things that keep us alive. Try to remember a time when you or someone you know longed for something so strongly that all other desires were forgotten. Describe how that felt.
In Philippians 3:8, Paul describes his life's pursuit of knowing God. How does he describe the effect that pursuit had on the rest of life?
Try to think of others who could be described as pursuers of God, either from the Bible or from your personal experience. What stands out in their lives that would make you describe them in such a way?
David describes his heart in Ps 42:1-2a. "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God." What are the thirsts that drive your life?
In Acts 13:22, God himself is said to have described David as "a man after my own heart." What would becoming a person "after God's own heart" look like in your life?
