Psalms 63 Study & Commentary
Psalm 63 was written in the wilderness. David expresses an intense spiritual thirst for God, declaring that God’s lovingkindness is better than life itself.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Early Seeking: "Early will I seek thee" (v. 1). Priority in seeking God determines the peace of the day.2. Better Than Life: Recognizing that God’s love is superior to physical survival changes our perspective on sacrifice (v. 3).
