My Soul Thirsts For You O God.....

Psalm 63

 1 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.

 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary 

       and beheld your power and your glory.

 3 Because your love is better than life, 

       my lips will glorify you.

 4 I will praise you as long as I live, 

       and in your name I will lift up my hands.

 5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; 

       with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

 6 On my bed I remember you; 

       I think of you through the watches of the night.

 7 Because you are my help, 

       I sing in the shadow of your wings.

 8 My soul clings to you; 

       your right hand upholds me.

 9 They who seek my life will be destroyed; 

       they will go down to the depths of the earth.

 10 They will be given over to the sword 

       and become food for jackals.

 11 But the king will rejoice in God; 

       all who swear by God's name will praise him, 

       while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

Got the blues....

Boy I sure can relate to the Psalmist, good ole' David these days....I have always been an intensely internal person, a thinker and full of emotions, I am beginning to realize I am quite passionate...but for years my passion was kinda on the down low....and now that I am free to be me, free to have my emotions back (hard to explain what I mean here, but was always given a possible sin reason for my emotions over the years, kinda makes you not want to emote so much if you are just going to be charged of sinning...anyway...) ...I really relate to David, he had an intense passion for the Lord, he's either hot or cold, praising the Lord exuberantly with all of his heart, soul, mind and strength or crying out to God because he was in the midst of a trial or longing for God to speak to him, or longing for more of His presence...but always giving thanks to the Lord, always confident in God's character and power!!
