Thirsty for the Joy of Fellowship in the Lord

Psalm 63:1

David, the anointed future king of Israel spoke, saying, “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water” (Psalm 63:1). He declared God, the living and true God, to be his God, and he will earnestly search for Him early in the morning. There is something about starting your day with your mind stayed on the Lord, seeking His guidance and strength for the challenges you may face during the day. 

David continued, declaring that his soul thirsts for the Lord. God is purposeful in all His ways. According to Genesis 1:27a God created man in His own image to be in relationship with Him for His glory. Therefore, we have a spiritual longing deep down in our souls that things of the flesh cannot satisfy. David understood that the thirst in his soul was spiritual and could only be quenched by the presence of God. Then he declared that his flesh longed for God In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. There are times when believers may experience seasons of barrenness, resulting in a feeling of isolation and deeply longing for God as David did in the wilderness. This indicated that no matter where we are in this old sinful world or how dire our circumstances may be, we will need God to sustain us. Humans must have water for physical life, and they must have Jesus for the joy of spiritual life. Today, will you earnestly humble yourself and seek joy in the fellowship of God?
