Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 29 December 2023
When the body is thirsty, no other drink but water can satisfy it. The soul also experiences thirst, like in the case of the Psalmist here. Even though a king, David found that only God and God alone could give him true satisfaction. See also Psalms 42:1; 84:2. When last did you feel the way he did here? David’s intimacy with God moved him to a total outpouring of his person to Him.
The revelation of God in the sanctuary (v.2), kindles a fire for meditation on his bed (v.6). As praise flows freely from the heart to the lips, a strong faith in God develops in vs.7-8. Let this be a challenge to us. Find out the warnings in vs.9-10, 11b.
Practice/Word Application
So What? It may be that you are facing problems or passing through a period of spiritual dryness now. Why not meditate over your past encounter with God and open yourself to praise, and worship Him unreservedly today? God is able to make a miracle overtake your situation.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
May my whole being cry out daily for you, my Lord and King.
