CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)
DATE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2024
(Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity)
TOPIC: MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR GOD
READ: PSALM 63: 1-11 (NKJV)
63:1. A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You [are] my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.
63:2. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.
63:3. Because Your lovingkindness [is] better than life, My lips shall praise You.
63:4. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
63:5. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
63:6. When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the [night] watches.
63:7. Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
63:8. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.
63:9. But those [who] seek my life, to destroy [it,] Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
63:10. They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals.
63:11. But the king shall rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
THE MESSAGE:
In our text, we see how deeply the Psalmist longs for a closer fellowship with God. This is expressed in different ways in verses 1 to 8. Consider the three phrases used in verse 1: “Earnestly I seek you”, “My soul thirsts for you”, “My body longs for you.” The desire for divine fellowship is compared to that of a deer panting for streams of water (Psalm 42: 1). Moses expressed a similar hunger for unbroken fellowship with God in Exodus 33:18. For Paul, his longing was “I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and…” (Philippians 3:10).
How deep is your longing for God? Do you experience His presence and power as you worship Him in Church, at home or elsewhere (verse 
PRAYER: O God, You are my God, my soul thirsts for You!
