'O God, thou are 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; to see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of they wings I will rejoice.'
David's song is the cry of my heart; everything in me craves my God. I want to praise Him with all of my heart, soul, Spirit, and beyond anything I am, or have within me. My God is truly powerful and glorious beyond anything my petty little mind can imagine or comprehend. David said 'Thy lovingkindness is better than life', how much do I meditate on the fact that God's kindness and love is worth more than my life, and what my life might offer. God is worth more than any praise we can give Him, any love that we carry, anything we do. Nothing we do or are, is worth the lovingkindness of our Lord; our God.
I continuously evaluate my purpose in life; in my everyday, every hour, every breath I breathe. Nothing I do will ever be enough to measure up to the praise and glory God deserves. I will never be humble enough, love enough, give enough, praise enough. And yet He helps me through everyday. How amazing is the lovingkindness of our God? No words can describe the mercy and love of our King, Lord, Almighty God.
I want to give all that I have though I know it still won't be enough, I want to give as much as God has given me. I want to live my every moment for my God. I want to praise Him in the darkest night. My God lives in my today! How beautiful He is. How lovely is the grace and mercy He bestows upon us unworthy. If only I could truly grasp the power and glory of my God. If only I could understand how Pure and mighty He is?! I would give anything to see the power and glory of our God.
Sounds like you have a heart after God just like David; as you hunger and thirst for his righteousness, I know he will fill you:)
