Someone once asked a fellow what the secret was for his apparently happy marriage. He responded, “We take time to go to restaurants twice a week. We enjoy dinner by candlelight, soft music and then a slow walk home. She goes on Tuesdays, and I go on Fridays.”

Obviously, that is not the formula for an ideal marriage. The key to any successful relationship is the desire to spend quality time together.

So it is with our relationship with God. Our attitude should be the same as David when he says, “O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1).
