Thirsting for Him

One of my all-time favorite Psalms and I know I have already blogged about these verses, but they are so powerful and meaningful to me.

Psalm 63

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

 ¹ 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.

 ² I have seen you in the sanctuary 
       and beheld your power and your glory.

 ³ Because your love is better than life, 
       my lips will glorify you.

 ⁴ I will praise you as long as I live, 
       and in your name I will lift up my hands.

 ⁵ My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; 
       with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

 ⁶ On my bed I remember you; 
       I think of you through the watches of the night.

 ⁷ Because you are my help, 
       I sing in the shadow of your wings.

 ⁸ My soul clings to you; 
       your right hand upholds me.

 ⁹ They who seek my life will be destroyed; 
       they will go down to the depths of the earth.

 ¹⁰ They will be given over to the sword 
       and become food for jackals.

 ¹¹ But the king will rejoice in God; 
       all who swear by God's name will praise him, 
       while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

I love how The Mesage states verse 1, "God--you're my God. I can't get enough of you!" That is exactly the way I feel. I need Him so desperately in every area of my life. I am nothing without Him! 

I am so thankful for these promises today.

Loving Him,

~Mel
