A desperate thirst for God and hungering after righteousness

The psalmist declares in Psalm 42:1 — “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.”

I’m not there yet, but that’s what I want — a desperate thirst for God and hungering after righteousness.

So why a public forum for so private an endeavor?

Perhaps a public commitment to post something every day will be a positive exercise in self-discipline that will push me more into the Scriptures, thus giving God more opportunities in which to stimulate my hunger and thirst.

Perhaps a place for mutual feedback and encouragement in this pursuit will motivate others as well.

Thus this blog — Panting Hart.

Are you one?

  1. Mark, I like this idea, and I will be stopping by for a drink often. God bless you and this new ministry of sharing your faith in Christ through these open devotionals.

  2. Count me in Mark! By the grace of God and His Spirit within me I want this and I want to want it more and more and even more.

Surely you could add something...
