AATHAVAN 💚

"As the hart panteth
after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." (Psalm
42:1, KJV)
We have already meditated on
today's scripture verse in a previous "Aathavan" meditation. However,
today we will meditate on this verse from a new perspective. King David
expresses the longing of his heart in this meditation verse. He reveals why his
soul thirsts for God in the third verse of the same Psalm:
"My tears have been my
meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?"
(Psalm 42:3, KJV). Here, David is being mocked by his enemies. They taunt him,
saying, "Are you such a great devotee? What is the use of your prayers to
God? If the God you pray to is real, where is He now? Why hasn't He answered
your prayers?" Such words deeply trouble David, and he prays with tears.
He compares his anguish to a deer panting for water in a dry and barren land.
Similarly, when our Lord Jesus
Christ hung on the cross, people tormented Him in the same way. We read in
Matthew 27:42-43 (KJV): "He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be
the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe
him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he
said, I am the Son of God."
Just as David cried out, Jesus
Christ also cried out in agony on the cross. "And about the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to
say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46, KJV).
Yet, the Father did not forsake Him; instead, He granted Him a glorious
resurrection.
Yes, dear friends, in this
world, we may sometimes be despised or humiliated by others. They may mock us,
saying, "This person keeps calling on Jesus and praying, but if Jesus is
real, why is this person still struggling? There’s no change in their life!"
Some may even say this openly. But our prayers, like the deer panting for
water, will not go unanswered. God will respond to us. Just as David prayed and
Jesus Christ prayed, let us continue to pray with perseverance and courage.
