'O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirst for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water' (Psalm 63:1).
It is such a wonderful feeling when you know God and experience His great and amazing love; the feeling is indescribable. When you can exclaim with joy and gladness of heart, 'O God, You are my God.' He is indeed our God, who formed us with such love in the image of Himself, with His own hands; so beautifully and wonderfully, that man still marvels at the work of His hands! He is the One who can sustain our hungry and thirsty souls. Christ said, "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst" (John 6:35). What a wonderful promise! Our soul needs spiritual food just as our body needs physical food to sustain us; and Jesus can provide both. Through our life journeys we had to go through some weary and parched places where only Christ alone can sustain our desperate needs. When we make Christ our life, submitting our will to Him; our souls will yearn and long for Him, through those weary, tiresome times, where there is no water. David knew God from an early age and recognised that He can trust and depend on Him. He did exactly that throughout his life's journey. At this time of his life when he was hunted by his enemies; exile from his people and homeland; with no friends, he cried out to God. "O God, You are My God. Early will I seek You. My soul thirst for You. My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land; where there is no water." Are you, like David going through a stormy path; through the dry and thirsty land in the wilderness, where there is no water? Why not call out to Christ today, the Rock of your salvation; your strong Tower; your Shepherd? If you search for Him with your whole heart, you will find Him. Let Him be your living water, that will satisfy your soul in a dry and thirsty land.
