Word-filled Wednesday

I have recently written two posts about God filling our THIRST and our HUNGER.... So, I thought I would repost this Word-Filled Wednesday in honor of God satisfying our souls....
Please visit me at Laced with Grace today to read a devotion about moldy bread!

Yummy!

I love anything with chocolate or whipped cream...

My soul is always yearning for something to satisfy it also.

What I have learned is that when I try to fill the longings of my soul with FOOD or shopping

or praise of man

or material possessions

or activities...

I remain hungry.

Why?

Because only God can truly satisfy the cravings of our heart.

Listen to the cry of the psalmist:

"O God, you are my God,

earnestly I seek you;

my soul thirsts for
you,my body longs for you,

in a dry and weary land

where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary

and beheld your power and your
glory. 3 Because your love is better than life,

my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,

and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;

with singing lips my mouth
will praise you."

Only God can satisfy us. Only His love will fill the empty places of our souls.
Fill up on Him!
