Thiristing for God!

Psalms 63:1 -11
1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.KJV

I want to know God like this psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
It would seem with all the modern conveniences I have to help me get things done faster, I would have more time to get to know the Lord better.
It seems just the opposite is true. I get so busy with the daily things that need to be done, sometimes if I am not careful I forget to include God. He is always in my heart; however, it needs to be more than that. I need to be in his word and in daily communion with him.
I want to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is my God. Early will I pray to him and study his word.
His lovingkindness is better than anything in this life. I will praise his holy name with my whole heart.
I will go around with a joyful heart and joyful lips.
I can rest in the shadow of his wings and know I will be safe.
Praise his name.
May you have a blessed day in the Lord!
Joy
