Pause...
and Consider
By Pastor Rob Adams
Longing for God
As the hart pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants
after thee, 0 God (Psalm 42:1).
Originally Psalms 42 and 43 quite likely formed one psalm. No
one knows for sure why or when they were divided.
The author is unknown though he probably lived in the
northern part of Israel. He may have been a Levite who took
groups of people on pilgrimages to the Temple. For some rea-
son he is now unable to go, and wonders if God has forsaken
him. He wrestles with the Lord. These psalms deal with the
journey from despair to hope with prayers of longing for deliv-
erance. The author conveys three emotions as he fluctuates
between faith and despair:
First, there is the nature of his longing (42:1-5). As the
hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after You,
0 God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living Go& when shall
I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat
day and night, while they continually say unto me, 'Where is
your God?' When I remember these things, I pour out my soul
in me;for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the
house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude
that kept holyday. He longs to go on his normal pilgrimage
to the Temple. The memories of these past journeys are pain-
ful. His sight of the panting, thirsty doe is a picture of his own
longing soul, his spiritual drought.
Second, there are the depths of his despair (42:6-11).
0 my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore I will
remember you from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
from the hill Mizar. Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your
waterspouts; all your waves and your billows are gone over
me. Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the
daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my
prayer unto the God of my life. The image changes from a
drought to drowning. The geographic locations are in northern
Israel. He is in despair because he cannot take this journey. Yet
his attitude changes when he refers to God as Jehovah (8). He
knows that he can worship the LORD wherever he is--he need
not go to Jerusalem.
Finally, we see the source of his trust (43:1-5). Judge
me, 0 God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; 0
deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For you are the
God of my strength. Why do you cast me off?. Why do I go
mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 0 send out
your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me
unto your holy hill, and unto your tabernacles. Then I will go
unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy; yes, upon
the harp I will praise You, 0 my God. Why are you cast down,
0 my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in
God;for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my coun-
tenance and my God. The landscape changes once again, from
storm to dawn. He has made great progress since he saw the
thirsty doe. The psalmist is asking God to be both his judge
and his defense attorney. Yet, his trust is in God, his exceeding
joy, strength and praise.
Many people are in despair today. They need the Lord.
God wants to give us fullness of joy, but it is found only in
confession, repentance, and forgiveness by faith in the precious
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ who died and is alive today. "
