Christian Moms Bible Reading: Psalm 63

I just got this Christian Moms’ blogsite today.  And I’m still trying to figure out how to manage this blog and how to use the features available in this theme that I’ve gotten from StudioPress.

I would like to start my blogging on praise and prayer by David the Psalmist.

Last night during our family worship, my husband read a chapter from Psalm. But for some reason my mind did wander while he was reading. To tell you the truth there were many times that I was physically present and spiritually absent during family worships.

After his reading I felt I missed God, so I asked my husband what chapter in Psalm that he just read. He told me that it’s Psalm 63, so I read it after the prayer.

I always love David’s Psalms. While I was reading this particular chapter it made me long for more God’s presence and His love.  I used the Clear Word paraphrased Bible.

I’m going to share this with you, please scroll down to read the whole chapter of Psalm 63.

O Lord, you are my God. Early each day I will seek you. My soul longs to be in your presence. My whole being thirsts for you as if I were in a desert without water.

I have felt your presence while in the Sanctuary. I have seen your power and glory work on people’s hearts and change them.

To experience your loving kindness and care is better than anything life can offer.

I will praise you as long as I live; I will raise my hands to you in prayer.

Everyday my soul feasts in your presence, and my lips are eager to sing your praise.

When I go to bed, I think of you; when I awake in the night my thoughts turn to you.

You have helped me along life’s path. I feel as secure in your presence as if I were under your wings.

I want to stay close by your side because you keep me safe.

Those who want to destroy me will not succeed. They will die and return to dust.

They will die in battle and their bodies will be eaten by jackals.

Because God has given us the victory, the king will rejoice. All those who put their trust in God will see His glory, while the mouths of liars will be stopped.

May His love fill our hearts today.
