MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR ELOHIM!

“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O Elohim. My soul thirsts for Elohim, for the living Elohim. When shall I come and appear before Elohim?” - Psalm 42:1-2

            These verses speak of someone who is in desperate need of a touch from Yehovah.  Have you  ever been in a  place where Yehovah seemed to be very far away from you and unreachable?  You  prayed, and prayed, and you were not comforted.  The skies seemed to be brass.  You longed  so much for Him, however,  His Presence seemed to be very far away.  Although you cried out to Him, He was not answering.  You may have asked the question:  “Why does He not answer me? Is  there a problem with me? What did I do?  Yehovah  please help me!”

            Agonizing in prayer you may have begun to search your soul. Maybe you did offend the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit)  and He  hid  Himself from you. Then suddenly He came to  remind you of a specific situation.  You remembered when you did not walk in love toward someone. And as you remembered that incident,  your heart broke because you had offended that  brother or  sister. You repented and tears came down from your eyes. At that point you sensed the gentle touch of Yehoshua as He was washing you with His Blood.  You realized that He was near, and He had forgiven you.  He was always there; it was you who drifted away from Him. But after your relationship with Him was restored  you were able to sense His presence again.  

            Yehovah will never leave you nor forsake you. His love toward you is eternal and  unconditional. However, your sin blocked your  fellowship with your Father. After you were restored, the refreshing came from the brook which became as the river that flows from the throne.  You were filled to overflow and promised to  never  leave Him again! His love was so captivating! He enraptured your whole being in ecstasy. His love never fails to captivate your heart. Give Him yours now.
