Psalm 63:1 - "O God, You are my God;
              Early will I seek You;
              My soul thirsts for You;
              My flesh longs for You
              In a dry and thirsty land
              Where there is no water."

Thoughts on today's verse:

Some people like to point out that one does not necessarily need to meet with the Lord in the morning. What if you're not a morning person? True. Many have their devotional time with the Lord in the evening. However, for David, it seems that his life was extremely busy and for him, because serving the Lord was extremely important, that relationship took precedence and priority in his day. Even if you aren't a morning person, does your life reflect that the Lord is first place from the time you get up to the time you lie down?

Then, David goes on to describe the type of relationship that he had with the Lord by way of an illustration of thirst. As the desert sorjourner would long for that precious water, so that same longing should be present for the Lord.

There is no thirst and sense of fatigue like that of a person who walks around in the desert. The arid climate rapidly saps one of strength. So strong is his physical longing for God that we may agree with C.S. Lewis that the psalmist had an “appetite for God” (The Psalms, p. 51).

Do I have an appetite for God? Do you? Does your soul cry out, longing to have a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the Lord? Seek him early, seek him often!
