PSALM 63:1–11
Dawson Trotman, a mid-twentieth-century Christian leader and founder of The Navigators, emphasised the Bible’s significance in Christian life. He practiced “His Word, the Last Word,” meditating on a memorised Bible verse before sleep and praying about its influence in his life.
Psalm 63 encourages us to reflect on how David’s struggles were brought to God. He describes his thirst for life-giving water, comparing it to eating nourishing food. He meditates on God’s love even at night, trusting Him for protection when facing enemies. David admits that his power comes from the living God, not from his regal position, but from the joy and glory He brings to his heart.
A friend and his wife end each day by reading a Bible passage and doing a daily devotional with their four children, discussing the importance of following Jesus at home and school; they called it their version of “His Word, the Last Word.”
What better way to end our day!
🙏Thank you, Father, for your Word in our hearts and minds.
