satisfaction

Sometimes it’s amazing what we overlook, right? I mean, it took me several hours of walking around in the gorgeous sunlight and mild temperature this afternoon to acknowledge that God had made this beautiful day…really? Several hours? And that was after I had spent time in Psalm 65 that had a line that immediately impacted me. Verse 4 says,

we will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, of your holy temple

and when I read it this morning I was really focused on what I was thankful to God for and satisfied with in Him. Charles Spurgeon wrote

what can be wanting in the house of him who made everything, who is the master of everything, who will be all unto all, in whom is an inexhaustible treasure of good

I was meditating on what it meant to have a good God, to have His righteousness and how His mercy and Grace was overwhelming. I was even thinking about how God had made coffee and how much I was enjoying it in that moment and I was going on and on. And then, I just kind of lost that complete train of thought as the rest of my day got going. I just ran right past it.

I want to be the kind of Christ-follower that is always deeply satisfied with who God is, what He has done and what he is doing in the world. I want to marvel at how His goodness manifests itself everyday and be keenly aware of His presence in every moment. I love the reminders of the psalmist and how even someone else writing their worship song can impact the worship of someone thousands of years later. Thank you, David
