I imagine David, hiding in the back of a cave, writing by candlelight. He’s thinking about days gone by. He remembers times when he was worshipping with God’s people. He’s longing for the house of God. He’s remembering the blessing of experiencing the presence and power of God and he comes to a revelation: the love of God is better than life itself.


Main Points:

1. Today, people value a lot of different things. Some value pleasure and happiness. Others value experiences and possessions. Many value home, family, and comfort. For David, he had come to realize that what he valued more than anything else was the love of God. 


2. How amazing it is to be loved by God. Let this truth fill your soul today. You are loved by God. Not just loved but loved deeply. You are on the heart and mind of God today. 


3. You can reach out to a God who loves you very much. Turn your heart towards God in worship, regardless of your circumstances. Anyone can worship God when life is good, but can you worship Him when life is hard? As you worship, I believe His presence will fill your soul. Reflect on the love of God. Rest in His love for you.

 

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Psalm 63:1-4 - “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. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live”

Romans 5:8 - “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
