O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NASB1995) Do not get discouraged and lose heart, though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. (See 2 Corinthians 4:16) Our lives on this earth are temporary but the lovingkindness of Yahweh endures forever! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; (Psalms 103:2-4 NASB1995) Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. — Psalms 143:8 (NKJV)

You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.”  — Psalms 63:4-5 (NLT) The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail.

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. — Psalms 63:1 (NASB1995) Sincerely seek the LORD our God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul. Because His lovingkindness is better than life, may our lips praise Him. Let us bless the LORD as long as we live and lift up our hands in His name. He satisfies our souls. Offer praises to Him with joyful lips. He is our help, and in the shadow of His wings we sing for joy. May our souls cling to Yahweh. His right hand upholds us. (See Psalms 63:3-5 & 7-8) As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? — Psalms 42:1-2 (NASB1995)

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, i n a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.  — Psalm 63:1-4 (NAS) In a dry and weary land, earnestly seek the LORD. Hunger and thirst for Him and you shall be satisfied and fulfilled. Draw from His living spring of unlimited power and strength. Because His lovingkindness is better than life itself, let your lips praise Him as long as you live! In His generous love we really find life and life more abundantly.

Yearn for His Courts!

How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God . — Psalm 84:1-2 (NIV) May your soul yearn (an intense feeling of longing for something) for the courts of the LORD. We enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name (Psalm 100:4). Better is one day in His courts than a thousand anywhere else! (Psalm 84:10) We flourish in the courts of our God (Psalm 92:13). Let your heart and your flesh sing for joy to the living God!

Shout for Joy!

Your dwelling place is lovely, O LORD of Armies! My soul longs and yearns for the LORD’s courtyards. My whole body shouts for joy to the living God. Psalm 84:1-2 (GW) Blessed are those who dwell in the house of the LORD! They are ever praising Him. One day in His courtyards is better than a thousand anywhere else. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to the LORD and praise His name (Psalm 100:4). Let everyone that has breath, shout for joy to the living God!
