6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
King David always knew who to turn to in times of turmoil. He served a God that was able to bring him out. We serve that same God. My soul is always thirsty for more of God. The way to quench that thirst is by talking with him and reading his word. The word of God is like cool water on a hot sunny day. Let your soul drink from his word. Only by the reading of God's word can our thirsty souls be satisfied. Like King David, I want to hear his loving kindness speaking to me, I too trust in him, I run to him in times of trouble and seek shelter under his wings. I lean upon his Holy Spirit to teach me to stay in his will and to lead me only where he would have me to go. I trust in him that he will deliver me from all enemies just as he did for King David. I am his servant and he is my God, he will hold me in the palm of his hand. What about you? Is your soul thirsty? Do you long for a joy and contentment that always seems just out of your reach? Jesus Christ said in
John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
