Read Psalms 63:1  Have you ever been outside in the summer time when it was hot?  May be you were busy playing  and didn't notice, but suddenly you realized that you were so thirsty.  Or may be you were playing baseball and you were out in the field and couldn't get a drink until the inning was over.  Or you were in church or in Sunday school and couldn't get up and get a drink.  Didn't it seem like your tongue was sticking to your mouth because you were so thirsty?  Here in our verse, David says that he longed for the Lord just like he longed for a cool drink in a dry and thirsty land.  I can imagine that David got into some dry places when he was a soldier fighting the Philistines.  A soldier can't just stop and get a drink whenever he wants to.  He has to keep fighting!  Here in our verse David says that his soul really wanted to pray to God and to read His Word, the Bible.  I want to learn more and more about God.  I hope you do too!
