“Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.”
Psalm 63:3
David is in the wilderness again, this time running from a rebellious son. He is longing for God. Do you ever feel like you are just going from one wilderness experience to another, just when things seem like they are getting better, something else goes wrong? It seems to me David might have felt that way.
I hope I am coming to the end of the wilderness, but if I am not I will stay and praise God for all that I am gaining in this dry place. I want to be so dependent on God that I can sing praise to Him no matter what. Because He is able turn the wilderness into paradise. He can mend broken hearts, heal bodies, restore marriages, bring encouragement and provide us with all the wisdom we need for the moment – for that I will praise him.
What is happening in your wilderness? Whatever it is you are not alone; Jesus has spent time in the wilderness too, so God is with you.
A prayer
Father – We will praise you today whether we are in the wilderness or on the mountain top. We will praise when things go right and when they go wrong. Thank you for being with us today and everyday. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
