Daily Bread - Wilderness

Another devotional from my manager ;)


Thirsting For God In The Wilderness - Ps 63

1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for
you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no
water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and
your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will
glorify you.

David was in the wilderness of Judah where there was no water, no rain
and a scorching sun coming down hard on him. He was definitely thirsty
for water. But yet he was even more thirsty for God because he knew
exactly what to do even in the wilderness ... to thirst for God and
glorify Him.

Dear God, You allow wilderness in our lives for a reason. Where we
have to battle the scorching sun of physical & mental tiredness,
feeling of doubts, fears, hopelessness & helplessness, seemingly
unending stretch of sand of things to do, we need to continue to
thirst for You and to trust in You because this is one of the main
reasons for You to allow wilderness in our lives. Amen!
