I wonder if a hart ever drinks because he knows it is necessary or good or both. Or does he drink only when he feels like it; that is, when he is thirsty.

Surely a hart doesn’t wait to drink till he’s panting.

Too often, I do.

“Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy” (Proverbs 30:2,3).

Whose fault is it if I do not know God (as I ought and as He yearns to be known)?

Mark Roth’s

“I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord…That I may know him…. I follow after…. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:8, 10, 12, 14).

One thought on “Feeling Thirsty?”

  1. Well I am sad to say, you are not alone Mark. Far too often I too wait until I am panting. Uh, the nature of the human heart, “what’s in it for me?”…

Surely you could add something...
