Day 1: Psalm 63

Read Psalm 63
List three or four things that you are earnestly seeking today.
Intimacy with God
Deeper knowledge of the Bible
Deeper relationships with others around me
A life that is wholly pleasing to God

What does it mean to have a soul that clings to God?
Not to be cheesy, but I think the answer can only be found in scripture. Matthew 7:18-20 says:  A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Only God knows what it means to have a loyal follower. We on earth in human form can only measure the fruit of what our lives show to ourselves and others around us. I think a soul that clings to God will be someone who reflects/mirrors the very nature and character of God through their thoughts, words and deeds.

Write a description of God based on the words you find in this Psalm.
With God you need nothing else: he is purposeful and beautiful. He pursues and perseveres. His love for us is beyond all comparison. He longs to hold us in his arms, protecting and nurturing us.

How was David's passion and thirst for God displayed in action?
He sought after God when he was literally in the desert.
