deer in Psalms 42
DEER
This creature shows up in Psalms 42:1: “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Psalms 42:1
“As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.”
What kids can learn
When you hear deer in Psalms, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Psalms 42:1 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
