Refreshment In Dry Places
(1) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Psalm 63:1
Textual Observation:
David wrote this Psalm while in the wilderness. In solitude, he acknowledged his circumstance. He was thirsty and separated from water. These times can occur both physically and figuratively in our lives. In such times, people tend to turn to whomever or whatever they most believe in. David trusted in and sought God, the true source of refreshment. He understood that God is always available for those who diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6).
Food For Thought:
All of us experience dry seasons. They may be financial, familial, spiritual, or health related. Never forget that the season is never too dry, nor the land so destitute that God can't reach, sustain, or refresh us. Like David, we must learn to seek and trust in the LORD's refreshing power.
