Message Outline

Psalm 63 (NIV)

1 You, God, are my God,

  earnestly I seek you;

 I thirst for you,

  my whole being longs for you,

 in a dry and parched land

  where there is no water.


2 I have seen you in the sanctuary

  and beheld your power and your glory.

3 Because your love is better than life,

  my lips will glorify you.

4 I will praise you as long as I live,

  and in your name I will lift up my hands.

5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;

  with singing lips my mouth will praise you.


6 On my bed I remember you;

  I think of you through the watches of the night.

7 Because you are my help,

  I sing in the shadow of your wings.

8 I cling to you;

  your right hand upholds me.


9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;

  they will go down to the depths of the earth.

10 They will be given over to the sword

  and become food for jackals.


11 But the king will rejoice in God;

  all who swear by God will glory in him,

  while the mouths of liars will be silenced.



Old Testament Story: 

2 Samuel 32-33

What is your deepest longing today?

2 Samuel 18:32-33

32 The king asked the Cushite, “Is the young man Absalom safe?”

The Cushite replied, “May the enemies of my lord the king and all who rise up to harm you be like that young man.”

33 The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept. As he went, he said: “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you—O Absalom, my son, my son!”

What is the Lord’s deepest longing for you?
