PRAYER

As a deer yearns for running streams,

so I yearn for you, my God.

In you is the source of life, by your light we see the light.

[Psalm. 42:1; 36:9]

A deer will seek water after being chased or hunted by predators. In the heat of the day, the watering hole becomes the assemblage of many different types of animals seeking the same relief in the cooling water. The deer will pant or cry for the water, knowing his survival depends on it.

We can’t see our future, direction, or destination, but Jesus can. Like the lighthouse guided the ship, Jesus directs us toward God’s light. The light of Christ guides us through the darkness of sin, life, and struggle both spiritually and literally.

For me, Jesus has been the ‘go to’ source in my life.  I have walked through many different light and darkness situations running from pain and hurt , which would crop up from my past, and daily life.  . The light of Jesus, and running streams were the source of protection from the predators of darkness in my life.  I have no idea where this camper would be if I didn’t have faith and belief in the God of my childhood – so I sought the cool streams of water, Jesus, and His guiding light for help. He was enough, and still is.
