SEPTEMBER 2020 – Dare To PANT After God As The DEER

SEPTEMBER 2020 – Dare To PANT After God As The DEER: Your TRIUMPH is EMBEDDED in It!

The Psalmist indicates that as the DEER pants for the water brooks, so does he after God. To behold His beauty, glory and grace through life than to be in a lamentable state. It’s of the knowing, that in God’s PRESENCE, is the FULNESS – overflow – of joy and at His RIGHT HAND wherein we are positioned in Christ Jesus, are PLEASURES for ever more as enjoined in the Holy Writ – Psalms 16:11; Ephesians 1:20; Ephesians 2:6.

Therefore in this month, take a new turn in life. It’s your time now to – “DARE TO TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, unafraid and unashamed in seeking after God as the Psalmist deed.

What is it then about the DEER spirited animal that’s in comparison to one seeking after God. Herein are few simple characteristics worth knowing:

•• Gentleness and emboldened spirit to take chance – opportunity

•• Ability to move through life and obstacles with grace

•• Being in touch with inner child, innocence – guiltless and easy to trust

•• Being sensitive and intuitive – the horn serves as antenna as our human spirit is in our subconscious towards God by His Spirit through His WORD

•• Vigilance, ability to change directions quickly to avoid danger – of the enemy and cohorts

•• Magical ability to regenerate, being in touch with life’s mysteries – innovative, relevant, creative and explorer

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

“You will show me the path of life; In Your PRESENCE is FULLNESS of joy; At Your RIGHT HAND are PLEASURES forevermore” Psalms 16:11 NKJV.

“As the DEER PANTS for the WATER BROOKS, So PANTS my soul for You, O God.

2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”

4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you DISQUIETED within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.

6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar.

7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

8 The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.

9 I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

10 As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God” Psalms 42 NKJV.

“And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:19-20 NKJV.

“And RAISED US UP TOGETHER, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6 NKJV.

“The Lord God is MY STRENGTH; He will MAKE MY FEET LIKE DEER’S FEET, AND HE WILL MAKE ME WALK ON MY HIGH HILLS. . .” Habakkuk 3:19.

** “. . . It is God that GIRDETH me with STRENGTH, and MAKETH my way perfect. 33 He MAKETH my FEET LIKE HINDS’ FEET, and setteth me upon my HIGH PLACES. . .” Psalm 18:32-33 (2 Samuel 22:33-34).
