Devotion for Today

Satisfaction of Soul

July 18, 2013

Thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee . . .
–Deuteronomy 26:11

Often the Church has banged away negatively at evils without reminding us that God is tremendously interested in our finding a satisfying way of life here and now. We Christians have talked so much of the negative side of Christian experience that we have forgotten to emphasize the positive, joyous, thrilling, and victorious experience of daily fellowship with Christ. God declared that things will not satisfy. God satisfies! This is the secret of soul-satisfaction: Let your soul delight itself in fatness. Remove the obstructions, tear down the barriers, and let your soul find the fulfillment of its deepest longings in fellowship with God.

Prayer for the day

There are no words to describe my gratitude to You, my Lord and Savior, for Your loving kindness. Accept my praise and love.

I agree with this so much. When I listen to Chrisitan radio and watch Christian TV is seems the message is most often about how sinful we all are and what all we shouldn't be doing instead of the simple, wonderful message that Jesus loves us!

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.The deepest desire of the heart is Jesus Christ in your heart, not things. Only Jesus can fulfill the deepest longings of the heart.

God, the same, yesterday, today and forever. The same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead lives inside of us. Grateful for his care over our lives and most of all for his amazing love!

It is so true that God does so much for us so I believe we just need to trust in Him and let Him do the rest for us so long as we have faith.
