Psalms 42:2

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 42:2. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

Not sacraments, not sermons, but God. Not books, not even prayers, but God. Three times he puts it; "for God"--"for the living God"--"that I may come and appear before God." We could not pant after an idol or an image; but we do thirst after a living God that he would come to our living souls. We feel as if we could not live without the living God. Is it so with you? You shall have your desire. If for a while he delays, he must come at the cry of his children.
