¹ As the deer pants for streams of water  so my soul pants for you, my God.
² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.     When can I go and meet with God?

Through the comparisons of the thirst and panting the Psalmist shows his fervent desire to serve God in his temple.

Matthew 5 : 6

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Hunger and thirst is a basic natural desire. Without food and water your natural body cannot survive. But we as Christians… followers of Christ… not just a knowing that HE exists, we should develop another basic desire – the DESIRE to SERVE HIM.

And live for Jesus Christ. Son of the living GOD. Our Savior – our Redeemer – our light – our love – our all !!!!

I believe we all have needs and deep desires in our life’s – but to whom are we running for our fulfillment? – the bible says in

Psalm 37 : 4

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
