I Am Like That Deer....

As the deer panteth for the water, so panteth my soul after thee, Oh God. My soul thirstiest for God, the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? Psalm 42:1-2

Imagine you are watching a deer that has been running to get away from the sounds of the wolves that are pursuing her, hungry to get to her. It is a hot, squelching day, and she is tired and thirsty. In need of finding water to drive away her dry throat,That is what David is crying to God about here in these verses. He is thirsty for God, His heart, his very soul cries out for his God to give him the living water that he so needs. 

Have you ever felt that way. So weary. So in need of something deeper then what you have and you cry out to God for his help?

I think most people have. Whether they realize it or not. They are crying, running, searching for something that will satisfy their hunger for life. It might be more money, nicer material goods, or a spouse. It might be problems that are going on in the home. However,  many never find though what they really need.

And what is that? 

It isn't a what. But a who.

Jesus

Jesus is who they need. Because that is what God created man to do. To want to go to their creator and love him, because he first loved them. 

Sadly, not every one ever finds him. But those that do, will find his very living water springing up even in the worst of times. That is, if we let him. All we have to do i ask.

Thanks for coming by, Friends. Until next time....
