"God Satisfies"

January 23, 2023 | By Chuck

    “For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things” (Psalm 107:9). This little verse has been on my mind lately. Our world is filled with longing and hungry souls searching for satisfaction. Where are they to go? What are they to do? I think we all want satisfaction, and we look for it in different places. Some give so much time to such worldly things to only end up empty in their search for satisfaction.

            Does real true satisfaction even exist? According to the Psalmist, God is the satisfaction that all humans need. Whatever is the longing of your soul. No matter the hunger you feel, God is the fulfillment of all. A relationship with God is the most fulfilling relationship one can experience on this side of heaven. God is the giver and sustainer of life. Coming to the realization that we need Him is the first step toward a lifetime of satisfaction.

              “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Mt. 11:28-30). True and lasting satisfaction is only found in a relationship with Jesus.
