Psalm 63

¹ O God, you are my God;
      I earnestly search for you.
   My soul thirsts for you;
      my whole body longs for you
   in this parched and weary land
      where there is no water.
 ² I have seen you in your sanctuary
      and gazed upon your power and glory.
 ³ Your unfailing love is better than life itself;
      how I praise you!
 ⁴ I will praise you as long as I live,
      lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
 ⁵ You satisfy me more than the richest feast.
      I will praise you with songs of joy.

 ⁶ I lie awake thinking of you,
      meditating on you through the night.
 ⁷ Because you are my helper,
      I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
 ⁸ I cling to you;
      your strong right hand holds me securely.

 ⁹ But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin.
      They will go down into the depths of the earth.
 ¹⁰ They will die by the sword
      and become the food of jackals.
 ¹¹ But the king will rejoice in God.
      All who trust in him will praise him,
      while liars will be silenced.

So in less then 24 hours I will be flying to Australia. Mind blowing I would say. I was reading Psalm 63 though and there was one thing that really impacted me in the commentary that my Bible gave. About verses 1-5 it said: "Hiding from his enemies in the barren wilderness of Judah, David was intensely lonely. He longed for a friend he could trust to ease his loneliness. No wonder he cried out 'O God, My soul thirsts for you...in this parched and weary land.' If you are lonely or thirsty for something lasting in your life, remember David's prayer. God alone can satisfy our deepest longings." I feel like it has been kind of a worry of mine going away by myself at first, even though I know everybody will be super friendly, and then I read this and was like wow, I'm so silly haha. 

So that is my first post! Many more to come, and they shall be from the land down under!!
