Psalms 63

Dear Brethren,

Good Wednesday Morning!

Our relationship with our Father in heaven is a relationship that all Christians should cherish. It is a relationship of love, admiration, support, and comfort. David was such a person who cherished his relationship with Jehovah God.

In David's life, he sought after the Lord because his soul thirsted after and longed for the Lord. David would look for the Lord in the sancutary because he wanted to see the Lord's power and glory. David recognized that the Lord's longingkindness was better than life. As a result, David praised the Lord and lifted up his hands in the name of the Lord. At night, David would remember the Lord and think about the Lord. David rejoiced because he knew the Lord had been his help. David followed closely behind the Lord, knowing the Lord would help to hold him.

Can you and I say that we have the same relationship as did David with the Father in heaven? Do we thirst after and long for the Lord? Do we praise the Lord for all that He has done for us? Do we think about the Lord when we go to bed at night? Are we following closely behind the Lord, trusting Him to hold us up? Only you and I can answer these questions for ourselves. However, let us all strive to have the same desire, trust, and admiration for the Father in heaven. Consider how much better and comforting our lives could be.

Here is Psalms 63 presented for your consideration.

1 O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.

2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.

4 Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

6 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.

7 Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

8 My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God;Everyone who swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

In Love,

John Duvall
