morning with Psalm 42:1-2

Psalm 42:1–2 ESV

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

Stay thirsty my friends!

The Dos Equis man used to says at the end of every commercial. Meaning never be satisfied with life. The psalmist here is telling his audience just as the deer looks for water that satisfies so to are we to thirsty for the things of God. My soul thirsts for the living God! When was the last time you were thirsty for the living God? Physically we exert ourselves in the yard or at work and on a hot Texas day we grow thirsty. We all know the cool, refreshing feeling of a cold glass of water. Nothing else seems to satisfies. When was the last time you were thirsty for the word of God that nothing else would satisfy? But unlike water that quiches our thirst, the thirsty soul is not satisfied until it has drunk deeply from the well of God’s word! We all get in the rut with God’s word, we grow complaisant in our walk but let me encourage you, as I must do myself, to be come unsatisfied with our walk but approach it as we long for that cold water for a parched body. So let us long for Gods word and never be satisfied until we have drunk long and deeply from the well of the Living God!

Stay thirsty my friends!
