Default Only God Can Satisfy

Only God Can Satisfy

One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life.
—Psalm 27:4

I went to church for years without knowing the importance of spending regular fellowship time with the Lord. I was really doing all that I knew to do at the time, but it wasn't enough to satisfy my longing for God. I could have spent every moment in church or in Bible study, but it wouldn't have quenched the thirst I had for a deeper fellowship with the Lord. I needed to talk to Him about my past and hear Him talk to me about my future. But nobody taught me that God wanted to talk directly to me. No one offered a solution for the dissatisfied feelings I endured.

Through reading the Word, I learned that God does want to talk to us and that He has a plan for our lives that will lead us to a place of peace and contentment. Isaiah expressed well our own hunger for God when he wrote, "My soul yearns for You [O Lord] in the night, yes, my spirit within me seeks You earnestly" (Isaiah 26:9). Nothing can satisfy our longing for God, except communion and fellowship with Him.

From the book New Day, New You: 365 Devotions for Enjoying Everyday Life by Joyce Meyer.
