As the deer longs for streams of water,
        so I long for you, O God.
I thirst for God, the living God.
        When can I go and stand before him?
Insight
As the life of a deer depends upon water, so our lives depend upon God. Those who seek him and long to understand him find never-ending life.
Challenge
Feeling separated from God, this psalmist wouldn't rest until he restored his relationship with God because he knew that his very life depended on it.
