Psalm 63: Psalm Of The Thirsty Soul (2 of 5)
Series: Psalms - Desiring God
Frank Damazio
Introduction: The faith of Psalms 61-62 reaches its conclusion in Psalm 63, David's song in the wilderness. This psalm displays David's love for God in a dry, thirsty, and hard place. In a place where the soul is either destroyed or developed, David's soul deepened with the heat of the circumstance. The natural wilderness David was in was also a spiritual wilderness for David. He was in a lonely, solitary, desolate, unsettled, and afflicted place. It was a time with little direction as to what to do, but David found a touch of God for his soul while in the wilderness.
