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?
