DAILY READINGS: 1 Samuel 28-29; Isaiah 66; Romans 8:18-39
O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. Psalm 63:1
What a way to start each day, seeking the God of heaven. David was in the wilderness—a dry and thirsty place. Such a location may not seem pleasant at first but the Lord often brings us into the wilderness so we will be caught up with Him alone. There He shows us that there is nothing that satisfies in this world and that He alone is our source of joy. Are you in the wilderness today? Ask God to help your heart find a tune that fits this psalm and rejoice in Him. —Paul Robertson
Not for ease or worldly pleasure, nor for fame my prayer shall be,
Gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with thee. —F. Crosby
