Psalm 42 begins
with the following wonderfully beautiful and familiar words bringing to mind a
well-known chorus:
”As the deer pants for streams of water so my
soul pants for you, O God.
My
soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
We have all been able to relate to the
psalmist’s desperate feelings of neediness at one time or another in our lives.
A little further on and another line stands out for its sheer beauty and
healing power:
“Deep
calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls,
all of your
waves and breakers have swept over me.”
I thank God that
he is able to meet us in the very deepest part of our being and speak to our
innermost person in a powerful and miraculous way. However downcast we may be
at times, we have good cause to put our hope in God our Saviour.
Thanks be to
God!
Je remercie
Dieu qu’il peut nous rencontrer tout au fond de notre âme
et qu’il peut nous parler d’une façon intime, puissant, merveilleux. Même si nous sommes parfois découragés, nous savons
que nous pouvons mettre notre espoir en Dieu notre Sauveur.
Louanges à
Dieu!
