2026-05-03 Wilderness Longing by The Rev Anders Edstrom This is the Second sermon in the series “Into the Wilderness” from Greenfield Presbyterian Church in Berkley, MI. SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 63:1-8 A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert. 63 God! My God! It’s you— I search for you! My whole being thirsts for you! My body desires you in a dry and tired land, no water anywhere. 2 Yes, I’ve seen you in the sanctuary; I’ve seen your power and glory. 3 My lips praise you because your faithful love is better than life itself! 4 So I will bless you as long as I’m alive; I will lift up my hands in your name. 5 I’m fully satisfied— as with a rich dinner. My mouth speaks praise with joy on my lips— 6 whenever I ponder you on my bed, whenever I meditate on you in the middle of the night— 7 because you’ve been a help to me and I shout for joy in the protection of your wings. 8 My whole being clings to you; your strong hand upholds me.
