Thirsting for God

Read Psalm 63

David had quite a way about him. He was a man of many words as attested to in the Psalms. So when we read his words we should take the time to allow his words to pour over us as we listen in on his thoughts, especially when it comes to his relationship with God.

Psalm 63 is a great example of his personal relationship with God. He talks of thirsting for God, seeing God's power and glory and knowing that since God's love is better than life he would glorify and praise God as long as he lives. King David inspires; he inspires us with his ability to capture the intensity of his relationship with Almighty God.

Now it's important to realize, David isn't writing this Psalm in easy times. In fact, verse 9 indicates people were seeking to take his life. Yet King David remains strong in faith, strong in worshiping God's name.

Where does your help come from? May it come from the maker of heaven and earth, who desires and deserves our praise. And may we come like King David to rejoice in God at all times.
