21.05.25 So Pants My Soul For You. Ps. Geoff Broekman

“So Pants My Soul For You.”

3,000 years ago the wearied and discouraged psalmist king David quilled the words in Psalm 42 “As a deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You. Discouraged and distressed believers, filled with the Spirit of God, can go through spiritual dry periods and feelings of emptiness.

What is the answer? David found help from a surprising source. After talking to God describing his woes, David then speaks to himself. “Why are you cast down, O my soul… Hope in God.” Perhaps you and I could benefit from speaking to ourselves in this direct manner.
