Thirsty for God: Psalm 42
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.
The image is desperate. A deer in drought—tongue out, sides heaving, frantically searching for water. Survival thirst. Life-or-death longing.
My soul pants. Not polite interest in spiritual things. Panting. Gasping. Desperate need for God himself.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
