The footsteps of Messiah in the Psalms

As the curtains lower to close the last scene of this wonderful Psalm, I hear the Psalmist confirming the words of Messiah as He spoke in Matthew sixteen stanzas twenty six and twenty seven: “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.”

All that I want is in Jesus; He satisfies, joy He supplies.

Life would be worthless without Him. All things in Jesus I find!.

PSALM 63.

On close consideration this Psalm reveals the very depth of David’s trust and faith in God. This made him a man after the heart of God. If we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us to the mountain tops of prophetic illumination we will see that what David wrote in the first person he actually ascribes to Messiah than rather to himself.

He prophetically witnesses the trial of Messiah in the wilderness. If a person will be in a dessert place for a long period of time without food and water what will the human factor long for? Will it not be for food and water to still the hunger and quench the thirst? The Psalmist describes a total different scenario, away from the human factor, as he enters onto the stage and listens: “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is.”

What an awesome, supernatural outcry this is! Is it possible that we can relate this to Messiah alone? Let us pick up the footprints of this amazing event from the Holy Scripture in Matthew four stanzas one to four: “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an hungred.(The human factor). And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
