October 2, 2025, Psalm 63:1-11
63 O God,
you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul
thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as
in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your
power and glory.
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips
will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
in
your name I will lift up my hands.
5 My soul
will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my
mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you upon my bed,
and
meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7 for you have been my help,
and
in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to you;
your
right hand upholds me.
9 But
those who seek to destroy my life
shall go
down into the depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
they
shall be a portion for jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
all
who swear by him shall exult,
for the
mouths of liars will be stopped.
These verses find the psalmist longing and thirsting for a
deeper relationship with God. Realizing that God is profoundly just, he awaits
a time that justice will prevail further establishing God’s power, sovereignty
and faithfulness.
What do you hunger and thirst for in your Christian Walk?
How are you approaching God daily as you strive to truly
abide in him?
