“For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” (Psalm 107:9)
God did not create any need He could not satisfy! He did not create food that would simply taste good. He created food that would taste good and satisfy our hunger — food that would nourish and sustain us, comforts us, and brings us enjoyment. Every hunger or need that we have — whether spiritual, emotional, physical, or social — can be fulfilled out of the abundance of His creation. That includes this life and the life to come. He is a needs-meeting God.
Listen to the Psalmist: “For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” If we are thirsty, we must drink the water that He provides to quench our thirst through His Son. If we are hungry, we must eat the Bread of Life which is His Son. Unless we ask the Lord to become our Savior, we will live lives that are empty, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled. Only when we are willing to allow Him to fill the needs He has placed deep within us with His Son will we become complete.
There is a story of a little boy returning home from the store with a jar of honey. After struggling for quite some time to open it, he finally succeeded. He stuck his finger into the jar to taste its contents. An older man watching him from a distance approached him.
“Is it sweet?” he asked. “Yes, Sir,” came the reply. “How sweet?” asked the man. “Well, Sir, I can’t describe it. It’s so sweet it more than satisfies my need for candy. But I’ll tell you what. You stick your finger in the jar and taste it for yourself, and then you’ll know.”
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!” He alone can satisfy our every need.
Prayer
Lord, fill the emptiness in our lives with Your presence as You become our Redeemer, Savior and Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
