Thirsty souls
These 40 days of Lent give us the opportunity to contemplate
on what Jesus really did for us on the Cross. What it cost Him, so we could be
redeemed and reunited with Him. As we observe these days of Lent, we can
anticipate an invitation to experience deeper intimacy with the Him.
'Thirsty deer at Kanha Tiger Reserve'
May the first words of Psalm 42 describe the
depth and intensity of our hearts during these days…” As the deer pants for
the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for
the living God; when shall I come before the presence of God?”
As we explore our own souls, we can ask, how
desperate are we for His presence? How can we live, without experiencing
His presence? Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to help us pour out our souls before
Him.
Psalm 42 is the honest expression of the anguish
of a soul wrestling before God…“Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul,
and why are you so disquieted within me?” As we pour out our souls, the Holy
Spirit will help us remember, who the Lord is, all He has done for us, and His
unfailing love… “therefore I will remember You…”
This day let’s thirst for His presence and
meditate on the One, who loved us all the way to the Cross. So we too,
will say to our souls… “put your trust in God; for I will yet give Him
thanks…”
