Earnestly I Seek You

You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.

Psalm 63:1-8

If God’s Word was an express buffet would you rush through it, not understanding it? Would you wolf it down, and gulp it down, or would you savor it? Don’t speed read the Bible. Take the time to get to know God. He wants to share His love with you, over a lifetime.

Reflect after reading the Bible.

It has lessons for you today and tomorrow.
