Today's Verse: Psalm 107:9

Tuesday, September 7, 2021

For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
— Psalm 107:9

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

The Bible cries out with an essential and recurring truth: God quenches the thirst and satisfies the hunger of those who genuinely seek him. We try to soothe the ache in our souls and fill the emptiness in our hearts with what is only a temporary satisfaction, an ache and emptiness that only God's presence can fill. Let's refuse every false satisfaction and tempting distraction and truly seek the Lord who alone can satisfy our spiritual thirst and fill the emptiness and hunger of our hearts.

My Prayer...

Forgive me, dear Father, for trying to find the satisfaction for my soul's hunger in what is not truly sustaining. (Confess the area of temptation that most often causes you to stumble in this area - sex, status, possessions, economic security, chemical dependency, abusing food, body identity, etc.) As I seek you, dear Lord, please make your presence known as you satisfy my spiritual thirst and satiate my soul's hunger. In the name of Jesus, my Lord. Amen.
