"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.  Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.  My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you" Psalm 63:1,3,5.

The psalmist declares his need for God, not just spiritually, but also physically.  Both soul and body ache for God in a world so separated from Him by our sinfulness.  But, because His love is better than life, and because His Son gave up His life, we have been enabled to be satisfied with His richest food, His Word.  In a land with no water, our souls and bodies can have our thirst quenched by the Living Water, Christ our Savior.  It is a good thing that this life and this world leave us empty and longing; it makes us desire our Savior all the more.  May we eternally praise Him for fulfilling ALL our needs!
