Psalm 63:1-8 – Alone with God
Key Verses: (NCV)
- 1: “God, you’re my God. I search for you. I thirst for you like someone in a dry, empty land where there is no water.” – No matter where David was, he searched for God as though there were nothing more important to life.
- 4: “I will praise you as long as I live. I will lift up my hands in prayer to your name.” – Because David has experienced that God’s “love is better than life,” he knows the importance of praising Him in song and prayer.
- 5: “I will be content as if I had eaten the best foods. My lips will sing, and my mouth will praise you.” – Fulfillment is available when we seek the Lord. Nothing else will satisfy and nothing else will cause our hearts to burst forth in song.
- 6-7: “6I remember you while I’m lying in bed; I think about you through the night. 7You are my help. Because of your protections, I sing.” – God promises to be with us, guiding, lifting, and protecting us when we are in need.
- 8: “I stay close to you; you support me with your right hand.” – As we center our lives on God, His righteousness invades all aspects of our lives.
- Is God your God?
Promise of the Gospel:
David searches for God with an unquenchable thirst. We all do. Every human being since Adam has desperately attempted to bridge the gap of separation we experience from God. As we search, we discover that His “love is better than life.” When we dine of His sustenance we are fulfilled. Our emptiness is gone. All that is left is a desire to sing praises to His wonder and might. When the darkness gathers and we are alone, we can feel His loving embrace as though nothing else in the universe matters but His love for us. He is my God and I will sing praises as long as I live.
