Past Grace Fuels Present Longing
Commentators like Spurgeon and Calvin highlight that David's longing for God is fueled by his memory of past encounters. Having experienced God's powerful presence in the sanctuary before, he now craves it again. This teaches that spiritual memories are not just nostalgia; they are fuel that drives our present pursuit of God. As one scholar notes, those who have tasted the bread of heaven will hunger for it again.
