“Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love…” |
—Psalm 90:14a |
If we could rise up above the normal terrain of our lives in something like a drone—just high enough to see what’s happening below us -- we would notice everyone moving around from place to place looking for something or someone to bring satisfaction into their lives.
We who believe in the God who loves us through the life-transforming power of the Lord Jesus have found the only reliable source of true satisfaction.
The Psalmist affirms what we have discovered when he writes these words in Psalm 90:14, 16-17:
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.
God is the ultimate source of satisfaction. Nothing even comes close to supplying either the quantity or the quality of satisfaction that God provides for those He loves.
Let us enter this night with the peace that comes from knowing God loves us, supplies all our needs, and brings reliable satisfaction into our lives.
