God Attribute, 185

 

~ God Satisfies ~

 

This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction ~ In the Book of Ecclesiastes we find the wealthiest man on earth – King Solomon – searching for satisfaction. He tries all the typical things that men do to find happiness but he is never satisfied. At the end of his brief summary, he realizes the only true and lasting satisfaction comes from a relationship with his Creator.

 

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is mans all. For God will bring every work into judgment,

Including every secret thing, whether good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

 

Scripture ~ Speaking of God David states: “Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Psalm 103:5).

 

“Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:8-9).

 

“You extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail” (Isaiah 58:10-11).

 

Related Scripture ~ God said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exodus 33:14).

 

Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28-29).
