(A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah)
Psalm 63:1-5-''O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. 4I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. 5My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.''

The Backstory of Psalm 63
(1) This title tells us that this beautiful psalm was penned by King David. He wrote it when his son Absalom was trying to kill him, having formed a coup. David ran away to Edom. Edom is east of Jerusalem where David lived.
(2) To get to Edom David went through a wilderness, or a wild place in Judah. There was not much water and it was very dry. It made David realize how dry and hungry his soul really was towards God.
(3) This was not because he was thirsty for water but thirsty for God! He could not go to the Temple in Jerusalem and speak to God. So he declared his hunger for God right there in the desert.
If you were riding next to David, would you be one of The Hungry Ones-one who's hungering for God?
