Let's look to God rather than the negative circumstances.

"O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is" ( Psalms 63 : 1 )

This psalm verse for today's meditation is a verse that gives us a deeper faith when we see it with the context in which it was written. Seeking God early in the morning is something many of us do. However, the beauty of this psalm can be understood only when you look at the background in which David wrote this psalm.

David must have written this psalm before he attains the age of thirty. The reason is that, David became king in his thirties. This psalm was written before that, when he was in the wilderness for fear of King Saul. It is mentioned in the beginning of this psalm. Yes, this is not a verse written sitting in a comfortable well furnished room.

Today we see youths in their thirties running after film actors. But David sought God at this young age. He got up early and worshiped the Lord. He sees the dry wilderness around him. He declares it to God, "I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is".  Imagine what the desert looks like. There would have been no fresh air, no water, no tasty food. David sings this from such a situation.

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches." ( Psalms 63 : 6 ). David says that whenever he woke up at night he was thinking of God.

Beloved, even if we are not living in a real wilderness today, a wilderness-like living situation occurs in everyone's life. Fear of life, like David's, can happen to us too. This fear hits us when we are terminally ill. Will our dark lives become light? Fear of the future...these are the things that lead us to the desert environment today.

But in such a situation, David did not look at the problems. He said, "My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee." There were problems but his heart thirsted for God more than getting solution for problems. Such a high spiritual experience came to David before he attained the age of thirty. Yes, that is why his hymns are still alive after nearly four thousand years.

Don't look at the problems and circumstances of our wilderness life. Tell God our problems and don't cry. Let's look to God rather than the negative circumstances. He who anointed David as king will raise us up in the same way. He will make us spiritual kings who will conquer our problems and sins.
