Psalm 63
Students of nostalgia tell us that young people in their 20's and their 30's long for a path that is something akin to a home sickness.
When asked to define what that past is they really were not able to do so. They just feel like sometime; somewhere back there, there was something better and they longed for the 1940's and 1950's

There was a time when David was king and a fugitive from his own land and forced to flee to the desert, namely, the time when his son Absalom rebelled and tried to overthrow his father's throne. It was a rough time for David. Well guess what we all have those days don't we?
According to 2 Samuel 15:23 David fled the city and crossed the brook Kidron and went into the wilderness. And he was far far away from the sanctuary which was the center of his life. He had been strengthening his soul in God. And what David missed the most was God's house. It wasn't his own palace he mourned, ...
