Ute Park, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Who knows how long this tree has been surviving, reaching its roots further and further from the trunk in search of water and nutrients. Life for this tree must be difficult. And yet it grows.
"As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God." Psalm 42:1 English Standard Version
The deer and this tree have something in common, they pant after water. Study the roots of this tree how they slide between the rocks and reach out further and further and deeper and deeper for water.
In the same way the psalmist's soul longs after God. The core of his being is not satisfied until it drinks deep of the presence of God in his life.
What are you panting after today? Are you desperate for God, the God who revealed his nature in the dryness of the cross? Are you desperate for the one who said, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink." John 7:37 (ESV)?
Jesus Christ is your never ending fountain of life. May you sense the quenching nature of the One who was parched on the cross for you.
