O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 – From the notation prior to the start of this psalm, this was either written during, or at least looking back on, David’s time on the run in the wilderness. David was in a season of heaviness, of loneliness, of physical and spiritual need. Maybe that’s exactly where you are at currently too. Maybe the season you are in is overwhelmingly heavy to the point that you don’t know how you can keep standing anymore. Maybe the season you are in has fostered a sense of deep loneliness, that no one is with you and no one could understand. Maybe your body is feeling the strain and so is your spirit. David was here too, and in that spot David took the pathway I’m going to encourage you to take. Remember that God is your God. This amazing God who is able to handle things we can’t handle, who will never leave us, and who can meet our every need is not just the God of scripture or the God of other people. He’s your God too. Earnestly seek Him out in this season of dry and weariness. Seek Him out as if you were in a desert and knew He was the only source of water. For Jesus will be all you need. This life has a way of crushing us under its weight and struggles, but God has shown Himself true to be with us in all of it. Turn to Him and keep turning to Him for in Him you will discover what you need. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3476
