Scripture

Psalm 63:1 – 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

Observation

David is crying out to God that his soul yearns for Him. David’s innermost being is so desirous of God that it is analogous to wanting water when in a desert.  He is so parched and needing of God (water) that he is on the verge of fainting.

 

Application

Let my soul seek God with the passion that David describes here.  I need to be thirsty for your Word to fill me with the living water.  Jesus is the only thing that can satisfy our soul!  Jesus is the Messiah and living God who can fill us with living water so we will never thirst again.  When we believe in the name of Jesus and receive the power of the Holy Spirit we have living water in us and eternal life with Him.

Prayer

Father,

Thank you for sending Jesus as the living water so we can have eternal life with you.  Let the power of the Holy Spirit have me seek you intently and share your love to extend your glory!
