Daily Devotionals

may 21, 2021

For today’s devotion, we invite you to spend time pondering God’s message to you in this passage from Psalm 63.

            Read it slowly.

            Ask yourself, “What is God saying to me? What lesson should I learn?”

            Ask yourself, “How is God inviting me to respond to this truth?”
            Consider how your life might be shaped, changed, or formed by the

                        truth in this passage.

            Read the Psalm again, this time as a prayer. Ask God to make the truth it

teaches or the response it asks for a reality in your life.

            Spend a few minutes in quiet reflection and celebration as you close

                        your devotion time.

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.

I have seen you in the sanctuary
    and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
    my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you;
    I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
    your right hand upholds me.

 

Psalm 63:1-8
