Satisfied In The Lord

Life That Springs Forth

SATISFACTION

Scripture Reading: 1Timothy 6:17-19 and Psalm 107:8-9

I became satisfied when I took my eye off of temporal things and began to seek the spiritual treasures and believe in the promises of God's word and began to covenant with him by which all blessings come. Joy filled my soul when I began to thank him and praise him for the new life he gave me.  He captured my heart and like a lover searching for her lover, I still seek his face daily and search for his presence upon waking each morning.  I meditate on him at noon day. I commune with Him in the cool of the evening.  He is the last thing on my mind as I fall asleep at night. Sometimes, I even awake in the second and third watch of the night guided by the Holy Spirit to seek direction, knowledge and discernment. I live in peace and I count it all joy when trials beset me, for I know he is working to complete that good thing he began in me.  

The storms of life nor any principality do not and can not ever separate me from the love of Christ. I live to show others his great redemptive power and his desire to restore us to the original state God planned through the cleansing of the blood of the lamb.That regeneration process that begins when we give our lives to him at the cross. You begin with the seed of Christ in you until you become with mind renewal a beautiful creation in him.  I am only blessed to be empowered to bless others, whether it is a blessing of knowledge, or material gain, or to bring healing to a hurt that I overcame through him.   I was raised up from the darkness to be a light to others to show his great mercy and grace to others and to show the power of how he can restore a messed up life.  

When others look at my life and my daily walk with the Lord my desire is for them to know that I AM THE REDEEMED! That I was bought with a price and my life is no longer mine, but I live through the one that raised me from a dead spirit to alive in him full of hope and grace. I do not dream of material wealth or to resurrect a memorial of my deeds,  but to lay hold of eternal life in a Kingdom that will never end. I'm fixated on my heavenly mansion where I will reside eternally on Victory Lane at Praise Avenue.

Let us give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. He satisfies us in the morning with his steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. He opens his hand and satisfies the desires of every living thing. Oh how my soul is satisfied as with the richest foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise Him! Psalms

God blesses those who are hungry and thirsty for justice, for they will receive it in full. Mat. 5:6

Jesus said in John 4:14, "Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty forever.  The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

True righteousness comes with contentment in the soul and is the greatest wealth to possess.  After all, we didn't bring anything with us when we came into the world, and we certainly cannot carry anything with us when we die.  So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. 1 Timothy 6:6-8

Jesus said, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst. John 6:35.  

SEED WORD:  Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5
