Hungry for Worship

Oh God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you’ My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. You satisfy me more than the richest of food, I will praise you with songs of joy. Psalm 63:1& 5)

At a time of his life where David had pretty much lost it all. He was on the run, in the desert, hungry, tired, dishonored, and demoted. Yet David is hungry for God. Praising God with songs of joy is more satisfying than the richest food. David Crowder says that in this particular Psalm, “David almost makes Job look like a whiner.” Even in the toughest situations, David understood where to find joy. In worshiping God.

Our whole culture, saved and unsaved, is starving for an extraordinary glimpse of God. Worship it the most powerful tool we have for satisfying the hunger of famished, injured souls, for breaking down spiritual strongholds of pride and unbelief, and for ushering in the gift of true joy.

Hungry? Worship satisfies. Bon appetit.
