How Much Do We Long?

Psalms 128-130

When the psalmist claims that he longs for the Lord, he quantifies that longing as... more than the sentry longs for dawn. It may not seem like a long time from the outside, but the minutes creep by so slowly, and eyelids weigh so much when you pull the midnight watch... and nothing seems better than the approaching dawn. How much do we really long for the Lord? Would we give anything to have him? Would we abandon all we have? He tells us we must.
