David In the Wilderness of Judah -Psalm 63

David here is found in the wilderness in a parched, weary and dry land here he confesses that God is his his soul thirsts for the Lord among sand Here the Psalmist shows he's distant from God and God's blessings upon him prayer, Bible, Church, communion the lot practise not these make one spiritually dim Why is this? sometimes there's no answer for the desires are God's but we go wrong route David confesses God's love better than life to God and himself, such is this blessed fruit There is a secret, to keep singing in the pursuit after God to find though the joy won't always come first always crucial stay with it keep in mind Whatever happens, have confidence in God as David did always to rejoice but he pointed to a greater King Jesus the satisfier of our soul hear His voice PSALM 63 (ESV) (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. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name, I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings, I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals. But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.)
