We who are born again, having received JESUS as our Lord and Saviour, have a BETTER Covenant with Almighty God than the Jewish people under the Old Covenant had! Ours is based on better promises than they had! SO, if we read something great in the Old Testament, like the promises in today's reading in Psalm 63 through our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan, we KNOW that we have AT LEAST those good promises, and maybe MORE! Psalm 63:
Psalm 63
A Psalm of David; when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
1 O God, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is. 2 So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. 3 Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. 4 So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My whole being shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips 6 When I remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches. 7 For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice. 8 My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek and demand my life to ruin and destroy it shall [themselves be destroyed and] go into the lower parts of the earth [into the underworld of the dead]. 10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a prey for foxes and jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him [that is, who binds himself by God’s authority, acknowledging His supremacy, and devoting himself to His glory and service alone; every such one] shall glory, for the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
If David had reason to bless the LORD with all that was within him, WE HAVE MORE! Learn to remember HIM as you lay your head down to sleep, and meditate on His Word and all that He has already done for you! Give HIM thanks at all times, and you will find that your trying times will go by faster and your rewards will be more evident! HE will lead, guide and direct you, moment by moment, and day by day! COUNT on it! COUNT on HIM! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Like Incense (Sometimes By Step)":
Shalom in Him!
