"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God." -- Psalm 42:1

Do you live your life and spend your days with the sense of needing God in the same way that you need water?  The psalmist speaks of two thirsts: the first is a spiritul thirst, the second biological.  We know that we can't survive for long periods of time without water.  How long can we survive without God?  Can you live without God in your life?  Biologically perhaps you can, but how can you even know life outside of God?  Reminds me of Jesus telling the woman at the well, that if she were to drink of the water he has to give, she will never be thirsty again...  what are you drinking?

Readings: Job 28:1-30:31; 2 Corinthians 2:12-17; Psalm 42:1-11; Proverbs 22:7
