My soul thirsts for you
Psalm 63:1
Do you thirst for God?
Psalm 63 is a remarkable Psalm of praise ... and hunger ... and thirst. It's a Psalm of Wonder and Worship.
Have you ever watched a pizza commercial and felt your mouth begin to water as they pull out a hot fresh slice and the cheese strings and stretches. Ahh!
That's the hunger, I want to invite you to experience as you read some of today's Psalm. Borrow David's thirst ... and wonder ... and passion.
· 1b my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.
· God, cut out every false priority, and help me long for you.
· 2 I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.
· God, train me not to look with longing or fear at anything temporary; train my heart to look until I see you.
· 3 Your unfailing love is better to me than life itself; how I praise you!
· God, make love and your delight my highest goals.
· 4 I will honor you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
· God, help me worship ... not just on Sundays, but every moment of every day.
· 6 I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night.
· God, reorient my thoughts. Help me make you my priority and delight.
· 7 I think how much you have helped me; I sing for joy in the shadow of your protecting wings.
· God, help my heart become thankful, seeing your gracious works and responding with praise.
· 8 I follow close behind you; your strong right hand holds me securely.
· God, help my praise turn into obedience. It honors you.
In Christ's Love,
a guy who's praying for thirst
(the first step to being
quenched and satisfied)
