Today’s Scripture

“O God of my life, I’m lovesick for You in this weary wilderness. I thirst with the deepest longings to love You more, with cravings in my heart that can’t be described. Such yearning grips my soul for You, my God! I’m energized every time I enter Your heavenly sanctuary to seek more of Your power and drink in more of Your glory. For Your tender mercies mean more to me than life itself. How I love and praise You, God! Daily I will worship You passionately and with all my heart. My arms will wave to You like banners of praise. I overflow with praise when I come before You, for the anointing of Your presence satisfies me like nothing else. You are such a rich banquet of pleasure to my soul. I lie awake each night thinking of You and reflecting on how You help me like a father. I sing through the night under Your splendor-shadow, offering up to You my songs of delight and joy! With passion I pursue and cling to You. Because I feel Your grip on my life, I keep my soul close to Your heart.”

Psalm 63:1-8

Today’s Thought

This was David’s song when he was exiled in the Judean wilderness. Wow, I don’t know if I would have this kind of praise sitting with Jesus in Heaven. Never let the circumstances you’re in set the level of praise you let out. Your worship for God should never be dependent on the things you're walking through in life!

Today’s Confession

Holy Spirit, help me worship You no matter what season I'm in. Even in the wilderness, I lift my praise. My soul thirsts for Your presence and I cling to You with everything I have.
