Psalm 63:1-8 63:1 O God, you are my God, 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. 63:2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. 63:3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 63:4 So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name. 63:5 My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips 63:6 when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; 63:7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. 63:8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. #lent3 #sundaypsalm #freshairfreshwordTonight’s psalm (below) I am listening to on my drive back to hotel after Day 3 of Mediation Training for Church Leaders.
