Psalm 63

In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

my soul - thirst for you.
my flesh - yearns for you.

A dry and weary situation is one when you look around there is none to help. and in those situations we seek God.

David went through lots of dry and weary situations in his life. where every time a situation comes up when there is no help. His soul , flesh longed for God.
Be it a lion or a bear or a goliath , during any situation , these are all dry situations, but his soul n flesh longed for God.

There are 2 things , having desire for God.
another is seeking God.

Many people have this desire for God. But there are few who seek God.

Having desire for God is one things and then you keep that desire for sometime and then it gets cold and you forget about it.

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
But having desire for God, then you seek Him. God is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Matthew 7:7 says - Ask it will be given to you, seek you will find.

This is a great promise - Ask God, seek God, knock God.
when you seek God, He will be found.


Effects of seeking God

Satisfied - Verse 5  - He is satisfied. He is not a grumbler, just like a person who feasts on meat.

Joy - There is inexpressible joy for that person.

Meditation -verse 6 - whether its bed, or work, wherever he is, he meditates on God.

Confidence in God  - Verse 7 - Even toughest times, he has the unmovable confidence in God.
