God Should Satisfy Us!! - Psalms 90-92

Psalms 90:14 (ESV Strong's)
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

God Should Satisfy Us!!

I have a quote that goes off on my phone each day at noon. It is a quote from John Piper that many know and are refreshed by:

“God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him.”

The above verse might be a good theme for that thought.  Yet, there are many more like it:

Ps 36:8
They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

Ps 65:4
Blessed is the one you choose and bring near,
to dwell in your courts!
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple!

Ps 103:5
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Jer 31:14
 I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance,
and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,
declares the LORD.”

Psalms 92:1-2 (ESV Strong's)
1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,

Being satisfied is wonderful thought.  Most people today are seldom satisfied. They are not satisfied with the jobs, their spouses, the service they get from the local coffee shop, their government, etc.   But, the one thing believers should be is satisfied.   God has gone to great lengths to satisfy us.   His abundant and steadfast love should satisfy us completely.  The consumer world we live in bets that we will NOT be satisfied.  It hopes that version one of the produce will wear out and we will not be satisfied until version two of the product is available.  God, on the other hand, completely satisfies us each morning with His steadfast, remains and abiding love.   We ought to be satisfied in Him. That brings glory to God.
