Heart-Satisfaction

A deadline or an end-date is bout all I need to get me going, moving ... in-gear! 'Tis the season - you football fans - to anticipate the upcoming game: calendar cleared, flags a'flyin, tailgating time set, game menu planned. What do we do, however, toward soul-satisfaction? The psalmist gives us how we are to press-on toward genuine satisfaction: "The humble will eat and be satisfied; those who seek The LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!" (Psalm 22:26). Key move of those who want true satisfaction is to "seek The LORD." Now, before you say, "Oh, I do that," consider the condition of those who seek Him: humility. It's the humble - the one who recognizes he is incapable of truly satisfying his desires-longings. Proverbs 22:4 says "The reward for humility and fear of The Lord is riches and honor and life." There is indeed honor and riches for the humble, and among countless other things is ... heart-satisfaction! Yay, of course, for momentary things that satisfy; let us not be deceived, however, temporary pleasures are just that - temporary. Only The Father gives ... heart-satisfaction.
