Psalm 63

The Lord led me to this psalm the other day and used it to bless my heart. It shows how God alone can truly satisfy...and He alone can satisfy beyond our wildest dreams. He alone is faithful; His love alone is better than life itself; He alone is worthy of praise. And I think it's interesting that David wrote this while in the wilderness. What is your wilderness today? Will you let God refresh you with his glory?

O God, you are my God;
I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
where there is no water.

I have seen you in your sanctuary
and gazed upon your power and glory.
Your unfailing love is better to me than life itself;
how I praise you!
I will honor you as long as I live,
lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
You satisfy me more than the richest of foods.
I will praise you with songs of joy.

I lie awake thinking of you,
meditating on you through the night.
I think of how much you have helped me;
I sing for joy in the shadow of your protecting wings.
I follow close behind you;
your strong right hand holds me securely.

...the king will rejoice in God.
All who trust in him will praise him...

-Psalm 63: 1-8, 11a
