Good Apples Friday // Psalms 63

Welcome to Good Apples Friday!

Today I would like to share with you a Psalm that I read today.

You, God, are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
    my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
    where there is no water.

² I have seen you in the sanctuary
    and beheld your power and your glory.
³ Because your love is better than life,
    my lips will glorify you.
⁴ I will praise you as long as I live,
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.
⁵ I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

⁶ On my bed I remember you;
    I think of you through the watches of the night.
⁷ Because you are my help,
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.
⁸ I cling to you;
    your right hand upholds me.

⁹ Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
    they will go down to the depths of the earth.
¹⁰ They will be given over to the sword
    and become food for jackals.

¹¹ But the king will rejoice in God;
    all who swear by God will glory in him,
    while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

I especially loved verse 3.

Because you love is better than life.

And it is!

And I pray that that would be our song.

That his love is better than life.

I would be open to any prayer requests in the comments below.

I would ask you to pray for my friend's dad who's sick.

And also my friend who's very sick.

bouncing in to say bye,
