TODAY’S VERSE: PSALM 42:1
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.”
Psalm 42:1
Chances are if I proclaimed to a crowd of believers – “God is Good” – the crowd would respond: “All the time!” – And to this I would respond with another – “God is Good”. Active followers of Jesus understand that God is good. We have tasted His goodness and seen it, and because of that we long for it, we search for it, we pursue it – even as a deer searches for water. He is our refuge, our source of strength, and refreshment when the way seems long and our minds and bodies grow weary. When life seems devoid of hope – He is a well-spring of life – just as water is a source of life for the deer. We can find no true hope or quenching of our soul except in God.
There are many ways we can seek Him, watching for His goodness and spending time in prayer are among my favorite ways – but oh how I love to sit with Him in His Word. For it is more than a book with words on a page – it is truly a living and active way to connect with Him. To sit in His presence fills me with joy and peace and leaves me wanting more. I pray it is the same for you. If not, or if you would like to know more about spending time with God – reach out to me in the comment section or via the email in my bio.
May your soul long for God and pursue Him all the days of your life. For there is no hope or quenching of our soul except in God –
Me – from the InsideOut🦋
