It is a great idea to read through the book of Psalms on a regular basis. Today, let’s look at Psalm 63. David starts his psalm by declaring his allegiance to God (Verse 1). As Christians we should all have made Jesus Lord of our lives (Rom 10:9). The king thirsted and longed for God, seeking after Him early in the day, in his secret place of prayer (Verses 1,2). We are also called to thirst for the things of God (Matt 5:6) and spend time in the secret place in
prayer (Matt 6:6). King David meditated on God in the night and talked of his close spiritual relationship with Him (verse 8, 6). It is good for us to meditate on God’s word (Phil 4:8); it builds up our faith and brings us revelation (Rom 10:17); God also desires intimate fellowship with all of us (James 4:8; 1 John 1:3). In Psalm 63, David dwells on God’s power and glory (verse 2), God’s great love for all of us (verse 3), God’s abundance that He showers on us (verse 5), His help (verse 7), strength and protection (verse 8, 7), particularly from those who would harm us (verses 9,10). God’s love for us is unconditional (1 Cor 13:1-13) and all His promises are, “yes and Amen” (2 Cor 1:20). It’s no wonder that King David rejoiced in God (verses 7, 11), gave Him glory (verse 11) and praised Him with joy (verses 3,5). The author of psalm 150 wrote: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Ps 150:6). Re read psalm 63, it will bless you.
