David wrote Psalm 63 as he hid from Saul, in fear of his life. Pursued, alone and in the wilderness, David turns his heart to the Lord, using language that evokes the intimacy of lovers, and finding in the spiritual pursuit peace, solace, joy.
This reminds me of Viktor Frankl who writes in Man's Search for Meaning "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
Wherever you are today, may you find yourself choosing an attitude that leads to intimacy, freedom and strength for the road.
In this episode we pray with Psalm 63:1-8.
