In a country where satisfaction is never reached what does it mean to satisfied by God? What does it mean to be satified?
You see, before today I associated the word satisfy with getting what I needed. I need a roof over my head, food, water, clothes, and all the rest of my humanly needs. On top of that I need God, I need a Savior. Well, I have all that. So does that mean I am satisfied? No.
The LORD will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorced land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden like a spring whose waters never fail. Isaiah 58:11
satisfy: to be fullfilled, to be filled in excess(surfeited/sated)
God is good. He has given me my humanly needs. But doesn't He also promise to satisfy those who don't have a roof over their head or shoes on their feet? They can't possibly say that they have been filled in excess, that their spring has never failed.
So what do I really need? What do we really need to be satisfied?
I need a Savior who unclenches my fists, holds my hand against His face, looks deep into my eyes and says "You are Mine, forever."
I am satisfied.
Are you?
