"As The Deer" Hymn Study With Scripture

"As the deer pants for streams of water,

so my soul pants for you, my God."

Psalm 42:1

Deer. I had to do this hymn study. It's a fairly new hymn, written in the 20th century. This is the last hymn study I will post this Spring. You'll find it down the right side.

Yes, I have begun my early morning fawn spotting drives. I've seen one baby fawn so far. The picture isn't great, but a reminder to me of the joy I receive riding through the woods in the early morning, enjoying God's creation.

Does your heart pant after God as the deer pants for water? Do you long to be filled and refreshed by His Spirit? Do you rejoice with gladness after being filled with His love?

Is He your strength? Your shield? Do you yield to His direction? Is He your heart's desire? You're friend? You're King?

How fortunate we are to have a God who created this beautiful world and longs to fill us with everything we could ever need or want. His creation alone is enough to cause us to pause and thank Him for His beauty. 

"You alone are my heart's desire

And I long to worship Thee."

Always a delight to see the little ones!

I'll be back with six more hymn studies in the Fall. That will complete the first session of studies I gave at church this Spring.
