The thirst for God

Psalms 63:1-5 A psalm of David. When he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; I seek you, my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory. For your love is better than life; my lips will praise you. I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.

Verses 1-5 of Psalm 63 express a deep spiritual thirst for God, comparing this quest to that of a thirsty body in a desert. The text evokes a burning desire to be in God's sanctuary to express his power and glory. It also emphasizes that God's faithful love is more precious than life itself, leading the psalmist to continual and joyful praise.

The author of this psalm is named David. Inspired by the Spirit of God who created heaven and earth, David expresses a deep desire for this God while he is in the wilderness of Judah. Far from all comfort and palace life, he feels a spiritual thirst far greater than physical thirst.

He says, “O God, you are my God, I seek you; my soul thirsts for you” (v. 1). This shows that beyond material needs, the human heart needs the presence of God.

David teaches us here that true communion with the Lord begins with a sincere desire to know Him and live in His presence. He remembers the moments spent in the sanctuary contemplating God's glory, and this prompts him to glorify Him even in solitude.

He declares, “Your loving kindness is better than life, my lips will praise you” (v. 3). Despite the difficulties, David chooses to worship. His faith does not depend on circumstances, but on his intimate relationship with God.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, this Psalm invites us to seek personal communion with the Lord every day through prayer, meditation, and praise, for it is there that our soul finds true satisfaction. And when we taste God's goodness, the only possible response is to glorify Him with all our hearts. Amen. Brother Daniel Komla Agbavito
