Psalms 63
63 OGod, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, myflesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Do we seek the Lord?Does our soul thirst and our flesh long for Him? May this New Year be one of usseeking God with everything that is in us. We definitely live in a dry andthirsty land that tries to be satisfied in everything other than Jesus. Let’s besatisfied in Jesus today.
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen theein the sanctuary.
His power and glory….His power and glory. He is powerful. He can do anything and everything Hewills. Do we glorify Him? Do we call upon His power?
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, mylips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up myhands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
Praise Him! Praise Him! Be satisfied!! Praise Him withour words and with our hands. His lovingkindness is better than life. What aprofound thing. Do we yearn more for His lovingkindness then our life?
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on theein the night watches.
Oh- this is convicting to remember him when I go tosleep, throughout the night, in the morning. Is that what I am thinking about? Or is it someone else or what I did orneed to do? Lord, may we meditate and remember you all the time.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in theshadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
God is our help. When we need Him, He is there. If weabide in His will we are under the shadow of His wings and we shall be safe.While we are safe then we can rejoice and thank Him for what He has done.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right handupholdeth me.
Do we follow hard after God? It should be. Is ourdesire to draw closer to Him? It should be. When you feel like you are falling,or that you can hold any longer, remember that His right hand upholds you.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall gointo the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portionfor foxes.
God keeps our souls, those who are saved, from thosewho wish to destroy it. They shall fall. I am glad to be held in the palm ofHis hand!
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one thatsweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall bestopped.
We shall rejoice in the Lord. What a promise- themouths of them that speak lies shall be stopped! How I long for that day whenlies shall be cast away and the truth revealed.
