Hungry Like the Wolf

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.
Psalm 42:1

My soul has been thirsting for the things of this world. I've been thirsting for things that cannot satisfy my thirst. I can think of dozens of excuses for being depressed, but I still have free will. I am still free to choose what I will pursue. When I entertain thoughts that are inappropriate for me, it is my own fault. I am with out excuse.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Romans 1:20

I am very familiar with creation. I have studied astronomy. I have studied biology. I have studied physics. In all my studies, I have seen God's incredible wisdom and creativity in the design of creation. God's fingerprints are everywhere; from the interactions of molecules to the incredible complexities of mechanics that govern the paths of stars, God's divine design is evident. Being confident of all this, how can I allow my soul to desire anything else?
