Running Through The Wilderness

David was on the run for quite some time but he had such a great trust in the protection of God that he praised Him quite often during every waking hour. In this Psalm David talks about the different times when he has God on his mind and proclaims His Name.

We, like David should work towards this in every facet of our lives especially in the time we live in. David was constantly running and fighting for his life. Every day we run the risk of being attacked for no reason by someone who is filled with evil thoughts because they do not truly know God.

If we keep God in our hearts and minds while following His ways, He will design a way to protect us. Let's read and examine Psalm 63:

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
God, You are my God;
I search for You,
my soul thirsts for You,
my body yearns for You,
as a parched and thirsty land that has no water.
I shall behold You in the sanctuary,
and see Your might and glory,
Truly Your faithfulness is better than life;
my lips declare Your praise.
I bless You all my life;
I lift up my hands, invoking Your name.
I am sated as with a rich feast,
I sing praises with joyful lips
when I call You to mind upon my bed,
when I think of You in the watches of the night;
for You are my help,
and in the shadow of Your wings
I shout for joy.
My soul is attached to You;
Your right hand supports me.
May those who seek to destroy my life
enter the depths of the earth.
May they be gutted by the sword;
may they be prey to jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by Him shall exult,
when the mouth of liars is stopped.
