Psalm 42:1
As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God. (HCSB)
Thoughts
Set your heart to seek the LORD. Stir up your soul to focus on HIM and HIS goodness. Invest time seeking HIM through Bible reading, meditation, and prayer.
Desiring GOD does not come naturally--it is supernatural!!! GOD's HOLY SPIRIT gives us the desire and the dynamic power to do GOD's will. Philippians 2:12c-13 instructs, "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is GOD who is working in you, [enabling you] both to will and to act for HIS good purpose," (HCSB). But we must do our part to cooperate with HIM by investing our time, talent, and treasure; and by dedicating the temple of our bodies to HIM.
May our desire for God grow to the point that we long for Him, desiring our daily experience with God in the Word and in prayer!!! We were created to know HIM and enjoy HIM. True peace, joy, and blessing are found in HIM alone!!!

Action Point
Discipline is necessary for success in life. Set a time each day to be in the WORD and in prayer, fellowshipping with the LORD. Don't be legalistic, but do be consistent. As we read and pray, our desire for GOD will grow. We will be rewarded with HIS peace and power!!!
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
Take advantage of the dry times in the field. Set your blind or your stand near water sources, or the trails between bedding areas and these sources. These are often productive later in the day, especially in hotter and dryer weather. The game will come for the water, and may well present you with the opportunity to harvest a trophy!
