Have you ever been driven to a place of desperation? Perhaps you have had a desperate need for a job, a relationship, or a physical or emotional healing. In Psalm 63, David finds himself in a place of desperation. His enemy has chased him into the desert. He has no food or water and could be very near death. In that place of desperation, David cries out with urgency and clarity for the very presence of God. The great cry of his heart is not for physical water, his throne, reconciliation with his son from whom he is running, or the comfort of his palace. Instead, David longs for the presence of God like a dying man longs for water.

Does this kind of thirsting after the presence of God mark your life? More personally, I have had to ask myself, “Does this thirst mark my life?” I pray that you would join us this weekend as we walk through this psalm and seek to discover more about this kind of thristing after God.

In Christ,

Pastor Chad
