THE HART.
We see here another mark of one who has come to God.
The one who knows Christ needs not the stagnant pools of the plain; no, nothing will do for him but the fountain of living water.
The hart pants for the water brooks—running, or living water. Jesus stood and cried, “If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink.” John 7:3737In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (John 7:37). Sad, indeed, it is, if any of God’s dear children turn from the living water to quench their thirst with the pleasure of this poor world. Then must the Lord say sorrowfully of them, as of His people of old: “My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, —broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” Jer. 2:1313For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. (Jeremiah 2:13). Oh, let us be like the hart! Let us say to the Lord; “All my springs are in Thee.” Ps. 87:7. “He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up the head.” Ps. 110:7. E. G. B.
