Reindeer on the Loose

It is the Christmas season and reindeer are on the loose once more. Forget Santa and his flyers. They are all over the roads too.

My brother was driving along a major highway yesterday when a car in the other lane hit a deer. The momentum tossed the deer into my brother’s path.

As I said, it is the Christmas season and reindeer are on the loose. I hope yours look like these Biblical ones.

As the deer pants for streams of water; so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. (Psalm 42:12, NIV)

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. (2 Samuel 22:34, NIV)

The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. (Habakkuk 3:19, NIV)

Prayer- Lord let us be like the deer, longing for you, thirsty for you, standing on higher ground and strengthened by your presence. Amen.
