Psalms 63:8 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

There is a delightful connection between this verse and the former. The soul which hath found a God in Christ his help, will certainly follow hard after the same, and indeed desire larger manifestations. Reader! is this your case? Have you tasted that the Lord is gracious? If so, saith the apostle, to whom coming, 1 Peter 2:3-4. (faith is not a single act, but a continued act), always coming, always seeking larger, fuller, greater, deeper enjoyments of the Lord Jesus; hanging upon him, cleaving to him, not letting him go without a blessing; like the apostle Paul, or the patriarch Jacob, or Moses, from well knowing the largeness of Christ's heart and his love to his redeemed; not as though we had already attained, or were already perfect; but forgetting things behind, and reaching forth towards those which are before, to press toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. See Genesis 32:26; Deuteronomy 10:20; John 15:4; Philippians 3:12-14.
