"Satisfy me in the morning with Your unfailing love that I may sing for joy and be glad all of my days."
Psalm 90:14
I have this verse written on my bathroom mirror. It is a great reminder for me each day not only to live contented with the blessings that I have been given, but to recognize that only God can give me the true joy that makes everyday count. This verse reminds me that when all else fails, God is still there, ready and able, to meet my needs. What a beautiful prayer is summed up here! "God, I need the empty places in my heart to be filled. I need You to satisfy me. I need your unfailing love." Oh, what complete and utter joy comes from recognizing and accepting the truth that only God can do this!
Father God,
I truly believe that You place in each of us a "God-shaped hole". It is designed for You alone to fill, yet often we try to replace You with so many other things. We look for happiness and joy in relationships, careers, success, and so many other places. Father, You alone can satisfy the deepest longings of our heart. How precious it is to know You and to walk in that peace! I don't get it right everyday, and sometimes I need that little reminder on my bathroom mirror in the morning, but I am so thankful that You willingly meet me where I am and quench every thirsty and hallow place in my heart. Thank You for meeting my greatest need.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
