O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name. My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. (Psalm 63:1-8, NRSV)
How many of you have ever had that sock that is just stuck to your jeans when it comes out of the dryer?
It doesn’t seem to happen as much any more. Maybe dryers have developed over the years to not build up static electricity.
But I always remember that sock that would just not come off the jeans. It was clinging there for life…
That is the image I get from this psalm, of us clinging to God, for life!
For His steadfast love is better than life, and He will give us what we need and be a shelter for us in the storm.
So cling to Him, and know He will hold you up!
