What does a heart with a holy discontent and an overwhelming desire to look for God look like? Read the Psalms. David wasn't just dramatic. With all his heart he longed, he ached to find God and in joyous outbursts he expresses his many discoveries. David's aching didn't just come from being oppressed by enemies; it came from an overwhelming, passionate desire to seek God.
How prideful is it to think we do not need to seek because we already have God? Do we really think that our tiny little hearts have fully known God? How can this be when we cannot even fully know a person in a lifetime? No, we are eternal beings, made to eternally search out the eternal God. And just as the living creatures around the Throne never cease day and night to look at Him and praise Him, so we will never tire of searching Him out for all eternity.
It is a sad heart that settles all too soon at only being introduced to God and never seeking Him out further. So never stop. Go deeper. Want more. Seek. Knock. Ask. In all of history He never disappoints the seeking heart, discontented without more of Him.
