As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. -Psalm 42:1 NKJV
When the Psalmist wrote Psalm 42:1, he wasn’t just talking about a casual thirst.
He was talking about a life or death thirst.
Often, when a deer passes from illness, it will be found near streams. This is from a desperate thirst, seeking to reduce fever or even hemorrhaging brought on by the bites of small infected midges.
And that’s how our lives as humans are. Dependent on God, seeking His healing in our most desperate times.
But we need Him always.
Psalm 42 ministry is a result of that reminder as we are surrounded by these amazing animals. Everything about a deer’s nature requires you to be calm, or it is likely to scare and run away.
It’s easy in today’s world to to be so busy! But there is peace in calm and stillness. “Be still, and know that I am God” is even told to us in Psalm 46:10 (NKJV).
