The deer pants for streams

so my soul pants for You, God

Deep calls unto deep

-Psalm 42:1,7

Enjoyed a much needed Psalm soak this morning. When I'm feeling spiritually dry or lethargic, reading Psalms is a great way to get the word in me that I know I need. David could relate. He writes about everything we deal with.

"God, I've messed up so bad...but I know You are faithful and merciful to forgive."
"God, everyone's against me! Even the people I've been really nice to. They'll fall into the traps they've set for me because You are my vindication."
"God, You are just so good! I never want to leave this place with You!"

If you're feeling dry, dive in to the Psalms and just keep reading until you feel refreshed. Read until you come to a verse or passage that stirs you, then stop and listen to what God is saying to you from that passage. He is always speaking if we will listen.

Refreshed: Psalm 42:7-8
