Word-Filled Wednesday: Pant

Welcome to Word-Filled Wednesday, hosted this week by Penny at Pennyraine. Be sure to stop by her blog for more visual inspiration from scripture.

I love this psalm, the song that's inspired by it, AND the image. We sometimes get deer at the pond in our back yard (this is NOT a picture of one of them, by the way). Glad we can help quench that thirst--but only the Lord can quench ours.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O God. Psalm 42:1 NIV

    I used to love to hear Steve Green's version of the song that set this Psalm to music. I can hear it in my head right now! I have always loved this Psalm...thank you for the gentle reminder!
