Satisfaction

How blessed is the one whom 
Thou dost choose, and bring near to Thee,
To dwell in Thy courts.
We will be satisfied with the
Goodness of Thy house,
Thy holy temple.
Psalm 65:4

Oh, to be satisfied!  To be filled, content, to be at peace!

We strive for so much in this world, trying to fill the holes that we find in our lives.  Trying to cram whatever we feel will fit into the spaces of need that we have.  How we struggle to fill the emptiness we carry around.  We endeavor to stuff the void within of desired relationships, acceptance, love, success, attainment, friendship and even existence.  We cry out “Hey, I am here, I exist, I have worth, I mean something.”  We cast out endeavoring to snag a piece of ANYTHING, the edge of the world’s fabric, to complete that which only God can complete, which only God can fulfill, which only God can “satisfy.”  We say that because we are not happy, even under God’s most delicate and loving hand, that we must seek out that happiness elsewhere.

Lord satisfy our longing hearts, fill our emptiness and give us real satisfaction in Your peace.  Help us be satisfied with the goodness of Your presence.
