Psalm 63:1-11
63:1 O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
63:2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.
63:3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
63:4 So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name.
63:5 My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
63:6 when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
63:7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
63:8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
63:9 But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth;
63:10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword, they shall be prey for jackals.
63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.

I am blessed all because of God, yet I still long for His constant presence because I am not Home yet. Troubles and trials, blessings, joy, and hope, all come now, but it will only be blessings and joy one fine day. I long for that day, do you?
