Psalms 42:1. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Hunted, hot, weary, thirsty! It must drink or die. You see the poor creature with the big tears in its eyes, with the sweat distilling from it, moving to and fro as it pants in its longing for the water, " even so does our soul long after God." I must have my God. I must die if I have not God. It is the refrain of our hymn, " Give me Christ, or else I die." It is not verbal. It is the soul that is panting. And when you grow very weary with the word and very heavy of heart--and when without any trouble you are led to see the emptiness of all carnal joys--then is the time when this panting comes.
