Psalm 63:1 God, you are my God who I seek.

Often, people who grow up in the church take certain things completely for granted. For example, we expect to feel the Spirit of God everywhere we go, although we do not necessarily seek after Him.

In Psalm 63, David prayed, "God, you are my God who I seek." At his point of time, David was in the wilderness and he poured his heart out before God.

Throughout the whole psalm, David asserts that he felt God's presence there in the wilderness just if he were in the sanctuary. In his life, he made the most of every opportunity to praise his creator from his whole heart. He did not allow himself to be hindered by any circumstances to exalth his God and to serve Him with his whole life.

Then I read in the gospel of Mark, chapter 8, how the Pharisees went to Jesus, after He had fed the masses of people with seven loaves of bread and a few fish, and had demanded a sign from heaven from Him. All that was important to them was sensation and show, and they obviously saw this as a type of entertainment. He sighed and answered them saying, that this generation always looks for a sign.

Believe me, I'm fully convinced that wherever we find ourselves, whether we happen to be outside and give a testimony or in the worship service, if we ask God for a sign, whether it is He who is speaking to us, then He will give a sign. The key for that is that we truly seek for Him and His guidance.

I challenge you today that wherever you now are, or in whatever situation you are in at this present moment, or whatever you are doing, seek and trust God. mb
