“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?” - Psalm 42:1-2 (NASB)
Most days we find promises from God's Word in one or two verses. When the books of the Bible were originally written there were no such things as chapters or verses. *Each book was written without any breaks from the beginning to the end. We are looking at a few passages in Psalm 42 to find what promises there are from God. We have a promise of sorts in today's selection although it may be vague to a degree. We all know how an animal behaves when it is thirsty. Their tongues hang out of their mouth and their breathing changes. If they smell water nearby they get pretty focused on finding it to satisfy their need for water. The psalmist who wrote this song compared himself to a thirsty deer. When a deer is thirsty it pants and begins to be focused on finding a water supply, a spring or pond or stream. When our souls are thirsty for God and for His Word, our soul has a driving desire to find Him because we trust His promise that He will satisfy our thirst and we strongly desire interaction with our God.
