The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand; You satisfy the desire of every living thing. (Psalm 145:15,16 ESV)
Satisfaction
When we depend on our skills to be satisfied, we will not find satisfaction.
When we hope for financial success through planning, hard work, or windfall, we will not find satisfaction.
When we expect peace and joy through our friendships, relationships, and personality, we will not find satisfaction.
But when the eyes, hearts, and souls of God’s people look to HIM… He satisfies.
Perhaps through our skills, but HE brings satisfaction… not those things.
Perhaps through our planning, our hard work, or windfall, but HE brings satisfaction… not those things.
Perhaps through our friendships, relationships, and personalities, but HE brings satisfaction… not those things.
And it is not just some bland nicey-nice work God does. He gives satisfaction to His people through the life, death, and life of His Son, our Savior.
Jesus leads to satisfaction. Nothing else does
