Some days are meant to be quiet days; days of solitude and contemplation. Not necessarily because the soul is depressed, but because it is thirsty & only God can quench that thirst. Recently after hearing "As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after You, oh Lord," a question was posed: is that really true? Does my soul LONG after You? On some days, yes. On others, no. To reach a point in life where I can consistently LONG after Christ is a goal that I dream of achieving. Here are a few simple thoughts. They all ring true because He is The Truth.
As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
Psalm 1 (New International Version)
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
"Blessed Be Your Name"
- Matt Redman
