As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God.

Desiring God’s Presence

Take a moment to think about your desires in life. Make a mental list of all of the things you want to accomplish. Think about your top priorities and where you think you should spend your time.

Now, go back over your list and consider how many of your desires included spending time with God. Did any of your accomplishments require being in God’s presence?

The writer of Psalm 42 compares himself to a deer that is longing for water. The deer is weary and parched without it, and so all it wants is to find a stream to drink from.

In a similar way, the Psalmist is weary and exhausted from life. He is under pressure and growing tired. And yet, his innermost desire is for God.

Just like the deer desires water, the psalmist’s soul desires the presence of God. He knows that the solution to his problems is not more accomplishments and praise—it’s spending time in the presence of God.

It’s not wrong to have desires and goals in life. But our foremost desire should be for God, because true satisfaction is only found in His presence.

Because God is not limited to a building or a location, we can be with Him any time we want. God is Spirit and He exists everywhere at any time. He is present right now with you.

All it takes is your desire and commitment to spend time with Him by reading His Word, talking to Him through prayer, or reflecting on His faithful character. As you draw close to Him, He is ready and willing to be close to you, and to restore your soul.

Spending time with God is a basic spiritual need of ours, but it is a powerful time that can change the course of our life and the center of who we are. Take time to be with Him now, but also come up with a plan that helps you continue to seek God every day.

Do You Delight in God?

By Adrian Rogers “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.”  Psalm 42:1 So many people think the secret to satisfaction is having a God who can give you everything. That is not the secret to satisfaction. The secret of satisfaction is the Lord Himself. Read More

As the Deer Pants for the Water

As the Deer Pants for the Water

After time in Frisco and Tulsa, my journey was six hours southeast to Rusk, TX. That’s where Epiphany Ranch is located. The 62 acres permanently house women who have had tremendous life changes and they carry on there in supporting and helping meet the goals of the ministry to help as many other people as possible. There is also a tiny home/cabin called “The Love Cabin” that is offered to those…

Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion

Devotional for February 23rd

As the deer longs for streams of water,        so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God.        When can I go and stand before him? — Psalm 42:1-2

Insight

As the life of a deer depends upon water, so our lives depend upon God. Those who seek him and long to understand him find never-ending life.

Challenge

Feeling separated from God, this psalmist wouldn't rest until he restored his relationship with God because he knew that his very life depended on it.

A academic reflection of Dallas Willard's "Renovation of the Heart"

What book would you recommend? “That’s interesting, I’d like to know something about spirituality. Can you recommend something for me to read that would be helpful?” Introduction This essay is framed in the context of Christianity. Spirituality must be viewed from our own lived experience and our weltanschauung[1] and it would be disingenuous to not be authentically Christian and…

Coincidence Disguised as History. History Connected by Coincidence

Most casual observers might assess a seemingly random series of events and say, “Wow, That’s a Really Amazing Coincidence!” In fact, anyone looking at the birth of Jesus would have to admit there were some surprising coincidences that took place. I would submit that there is something more to it than that… You Can Look It Up… “In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should…
