[Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all
generations…from everlasting to everlasting Psalm 90:1-2
During this season of reflection
and renewal, join me, and let's explore God’s Presence, our dwelling place. Are
you dwelling in the presence of God? ~ Donna Howell Oswalt]
“God, You’re my
God! I can’t get enough of You! I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God,
traveling across dry and weary deserts.” Psalm
63:1 MSG
Although David is anointed king by the prophet Samuel,
King Saul still remains on the throne and tirelessly attempts to kill David. Spending
much time avoiding Saul, David lives in the wilderness of Judah, sometimes
taking refuge in caves. What sustains David during these difficult times? David
seeks God’s power and presence, His provision and protection. David embraces
the contentment that fellowship with God brings.
Read Psalm 63 and discover how David’s thirst for God is
satisfied because he recognizes God’s mercy and kindness and goodness are better
than anything in life. As praises come from David’s lips, a deep satisfaction
pours over him. God of mercy, my soul,
too thirsts in the dry and weary places of this world. In Your presence I find
rest and peace, I know fellowship and joy, I feel kindness and love. You are
more than shelter, more than sustenance, more than security. Count me alive in
Christ. You are the endless satisfaction for my soul. ~dho
