Oh God, thou art my God

Psalms 63:1 starts out with the above phrase. Just looking at it as it is in english is powerful enough. David is declaring to God that he has given himself to God. He is professing God as his one and only. However, if we take a deeper look at this statment it becomes even more powerful and challenging. First he says, "Oh God." The name for God here is Elohim. Elohim is a Hebrew expression for God that is plural. It is the same name used for God as in Genesis 1:1. It gives reference to the Godhead. The Bible teaches us that there are three that bear record in heaven, Father, Son, Holy Ghost and that these three are one. When we make a confession of God, we can not just take part of God, we must profess and recieve all of Him. We need Him as our Father. Jesus teaches us to pray, "Our Father which is in heaven." He becomes the caring parent that watches over us. We need the Son. What would we be without the saving grace of the Son? Had Jesus not died for our sins, what a miserable state we would be in. We need the Holy Spirit. Jesus told us He would not leave us comfortless. He sent us the Holy Spirit as a Comforter to go with us and to lead us in this life. He empowers us to serve and do the Lord's work. You see, we need Elohim. We need everything that He is and all that He promises. Tomorrow we will look at the rest of this phrase. God bless and have a great day.
