Sippin' Coffee with Jesus

Last night I went to Java with Jesus, an event put on by Disciples on Campus and the Chaplain's Office. Emily, the Associate Pastor from my church, gave the message and it was about being stressed out and filled with anxiety - something I clearly know a lot about. She used Psalm 63:1-8 for her scripture reading and I'm just going to post it on here because it really touched me. Even though I'd heard it many times before, I don't think I'd ever really heard it.

O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.

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

On my bed I remember you;
I think of you in the watches of night.
Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.

Holy crap. Well said, David.
