Soul Satisfaction, David found it as he sought God in all his testings and trials. Psalm 63
We were looking this morning on Spreaker broadcast at an obscure verse in Job 12:11;
Does not the ear TEST words as the tongue TASTES food?
Our ears should be the Gatekeepers of our souls, ‘Testing what we hear’. The tongue ‘Tastes what we eat’, if it doesn’t taste good then we spit it out and protect our bodies. We need discernment and awareness what we’re listening to and looking at in these days of digital media. If it doesn’t sit well with us, or we feel a check about it, then reject/spit it out and protect our souls.
David was one who earnestly sought God, more than likely because he and his men’s lives were in constant danger;
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek You(a God Seeker); my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water(David’s outer world around Him was desolate and bleak). Psalm 63: 1
I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory. Because Your Love is better than life my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live (David didn’t know how long he would live) and in Your name I will lift up my hands. MY ‘SOUL WILL BE SATISFIED’ AS WITH THE RICHEST OF FOODS(David’s inner world was like a rich feast!); with singing lips my mouth will praise you. Psalm 63: 2,3,4
David was able to rise above his circumstances and his desolate surroundings, constantly fleeing for his life, and meet God and worship Him. His Praise Song proclaimed the goodness of His God, like the RICHEST OF FOODS, in the midst of continual testings. If you’re finding life tough today, take some time to turn to the Lord, speak to Him and yes, even sing and worship Him. Your soul can be greatly blessed in the midst of difficulties, God is bigger than the problems. Turning to Him and worshipping Him will help put things in perspective and give us hope.
God bless and keep you this day and every day.
