Today’s Scripture: I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah Psalm 143:6 ESV
I feel David’s soul. I feel his pleas to the LORD; heart wrenching, soul reaching words that awaken my soul to reach out with my heart and my hands to the LORD. This chapter only has twelve verses yet I have captured sixty two affirmations so far that prosper my soul. Yes my soul thirsts for God and He overflows it.
Just as David expresses here I have experienced God’s Spirit. I have come to know His love. Try to wrap your mind around this thought in verse eight: Can you “hear” the LORD’s love in the morning? His love, His Spirit flows; thirst for it and you will be refreshed.
The LORD is guiding me and protecting me today and I pray I am faithful and claim as David did LORD, I am Your servant.
What do you thirst for? Can you pause and reflect on the LORD today? Selah.
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, I praise You and stretch out my hands and soul to You. Thank You for Your Word and your servant David. My soul knows You and I pray my mind will trust Your Spirit and Your direction. You are my God and my soul thirsts for You. Please guide and protect my life so that I will prove useful as Your servant. Amen
