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. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. Psalm 63:1, 3 NIV
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you. There may be moments in our life when we can be in a great throng of people and yet feel drained and alone. It is as if we are in a dry and weary land where there is no water. There in that place we discover emotions that never give any life, they only seem to exhaust whatever we thought we had. We name them as hopelessness, despair, sadness and depression. But right in that moment our God offers his grace which is water for our soul. It is his love that quenches all our thirsts and brings hope, joy, refreshment and an abundance of kindness. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. That is why his grace is called amazing and overwhelming. This would be a great way to start a new day! So allow yourself to desire the life of his love and grace. Let your lips glorify Him and you will experience thanksgiving and rejoicing in the depth of your soul. Enjoy! |
