Sunday Psalms 

Psalm 63

A psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

David is literally in the wilderness, and there's this overlay of being distant from God;

God, you are my God; 

I eagerly seek you. 

I thirst for you; 

my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.

Psalm 63:1 CSB

Just like a thirsty person out in the desert searches for water and your whole being is telling you what you need, David doesn't complain to God, but seeks Him, looks for Him

Sometimes I'll be like;

"God where are you? 

Why don't you fix this?

Why are you so distant?"

But David is searching, looking, seeking. 

Even in the wilderness, or perhaps even more so when we are feeling a bit lost, alone, tired, thirsty, seek Him, look for Him.

All the images I've seen of the Judean wilderness are quite desolate so finding water is going to take diligence, looking for small signs. 

We can kind of want God to show up in a big way, a spectacular way, but this Psalm is suggesting we look in the small, the easily overlooked...
