Panting for God

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.  Psalm 42:1

Just as the deer depends on water for life, our lives should depend on God.  Our greatest desire should be to seek after God with our whole heart.  As our relationship with God becomes stronger, the enemy will do whatever necessary to distract us from Him. 

When we find that we are in the midst of the battle, we need to  remember that we need supernatural powers to defeat our foe.  We put on our armour (Ephesians 6:10-18) by seeking God and his righteousness first and foremost (Matthew 6:33).  Know that God is our shield and our great reward.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.  Psalm 28:7
