1. Your love is better than life (1-5)
This is a love song. David was a fugitive, hiding in the desert. But he did not long for the palace or for human comfort or human love. He was thirsty for God. 'O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.' God's love is better than life. Human glory and success without God can never satisfy the soul. God's love satisfies my deepest need.
2. I remember you on my bed (6-11)
Some people have nightmares. Others watch T.V. all night. But those who remember God and think of him and talk with him through the watches of the night, find peace and joy and freedom from fear. He puts a song in our hearts.
Application: Lord, I cannot satisfy my soul on the husks of the world. I seek you. My soul and body long for you alone. Your love is better than life. My lips glorify you.
One Word: God's love is better than life
